Had that happen on my Toyota last year, which has never given me one lick of trouble in 232,000 miles.
Window lifts are governed by a component called a thermistor. There is no "up" or "down" location switch, when it meets enough resistance, it stops. For some reason my window went down too far. I too thought it was the regulator, bought a new one. When I removed the door skin I just pushed up on the window a millimeter and it worked again, and has been fine ever since. Just one of those things. First thing I would try would be to somehow lift the window without removing the door skin.
