Was it freezing where you live? It sounds as though half of the window bottom has come out of the track.

I posted a similar thread earlier today. This is the second time for me. I hope the window tint is not messed up or that will be an extra $60.

The adhesive that holds the window in it's brackets failed. You need to remove the door panel and reset the window into the brackets.

Here is the procedure for removing the door panel, I am going off my memory so this might not be perfect but here it is. The first thing to do is take out all the screws that you can see, after that the is on screw behind the red door light, then there is one right behind the door handle, you have to pop off the cover behind the lever and then you should see the screw. Then I would pop out the window switch and door lock switch and unplug those. I am not sure but there might be a screw right inside where the window switch goes. Once all the fasteners have been removed the door panel will lift up first then pull out. Don't just pull straight off or you will break the clips for the door panel. Also watch out for the speaker wire, you must disconnect that as soon as you pop the door panel loose. After the door panel is off the job is very easy, get some 3M panel bonding adhesive and use that to re-apply the window clips. Make sure the surfaces are clean before you put on the adhesive or it won’t get a good bond. I would let it set up for 24 hours before using the window again. To put it all back together is the opposite of the way it came out. I am sure there is some stuff I missed but this is what I can remember off the top of my head, I hope this helps.

And run the window all the way up for the curing process so there is good pressure on it holding it to the brackets.

Good instructions, have some rep points.

Due to the cold weather, I would add to leave the door panel off and try to get some heat on it. Otherwise, 72 hours without using the window is recommended.
