Driver side window wont go up!

hopefully this is the right place to post this

i was driving with the windows down and when i got close to home i tried putting it back up but it wouldnt go... the passenger side window was able to go up but the driver one wouldn't. Tried starting and re-starting the car but no luck. The window is all the way down so i cant see it.

any tips on what i can do? how much will this cost me?

its a 2004 g35 coupe btw

thanks

It should be your window motor. I had to replace both sides and about to do the driver's side again. If u slam the door while holding up the window switch it should go up for u. Quick fix but you will need to replace the motor.

Try cleaning the window motor. Carbon builds up on the motor.

I read another place where you should hold the window button 5 seconds down then 5 seconds up but it didnt work.

So you think i should hold the window button while slamming the door and it should work?

how much will it cost to replace the motor and fix this problem?

thanks guys

Hopefully u tried this and it worked by now....the motor isn't expensive. U can get a reman at Advanced and get credit for your old one. I think it was around $100. I did that and it worked for a about a year and now I have to get another. Check craigslist. I found a guy selling the same reman's for $50! I do all the work myself, pretty easy to do bro...
