your symptoms are exactly what happened to my passenger door window a month ago. i thought i had listed out my symptoms in that thread, but i didn't go back to check. The grinding issues another user posted in that thread are also, eveidently, a symptom of this issue.
replacing the regulator fixed it for me.
Sounds like others are going with a faulty hardtop install, though. not sure I can offer any experience on that.

through my confusion of your post, I did however read your thread. it looks as though the symptoms of a bad regulator is a grinding sound while rolling up and down the windows or no movement of the window when the button is depressed. in my situation, my windows work perfectly fine with no abnormal sounds. they go fully up and fully down along with auto up and auto down. they also open slightly when you open the door and close fully when the door is completely shut. i should have stated this in my original post but i assumed that since I stated that i roll it back up when i notice it, that would have communicated that the window was working.
