2006 Chevy Impala 6 cyl Automatic 77000 miles

When rolling up my window it made a pop noise, when i made the window go down it went down but when i tried to make it come back up it wouldn't. The window is loose in the door, i have to use my hands to pull it up. What do you think is wrong? Could it have just came off the track or do you think i need a new regulator.

Hi kristen84,

The pop sound you heard was most likely the cable in the regulator breaking and, yes, you need to have the regulator replaced.
