The front right window does not roll up anymore beyond maybe a centimeters, and makes a very loud buzzing/grinding noise. The window has had issues going up slow, and sometimes would stop.

Yep, this is because you need to replace the window regulator/motor, here is how to do the job in a simar car which the procedure will be the same on your car.
