Punch the door trim a few times while pressing/ pulling window button I gotta do this daily on my 32

Here's what the window regulator looks like on a 33.

The motor rarely gives any trouble but the gearbox is a different story.

You could pull it apart to check if the nylon gear has lost teeth and jambed things up which is the usual fault.

i just took the trim off, held the window with one hand and pried the arm out of the metal runner on the bottom of the window, pushed it up and put some big pieces of wood in, works great now no water
