Default Rear window

This morning when I put my roof back up the windows came up as normal but the rear drivers side made a popping noise and went half way down. I can hear the motor running but the window won’t move. Is that the regulator or something else? Is there a way to test regulator or any of the other parts?

The only way to "test" a regulator is to observe it working up and down. I don't suppose that you can grab the window and pull it up? That would mean it has popped out of the window glass clamps, if you are lucky. What I've heard is the rear window regulators are a real PITA to replace.

I pulled it up about an inch but the motor pulled it back down

Sounds like a rear window regulator issue. And let me tell you, I would find some of my threads on this topic, as replacement of the parts is expensive and there are options (rebuild) instead. And if you do the replacement yourself, there are some tricks to getting the assembly in and out you will want to learn.
