I had some problems with my power windows sticking a while ago, make sure all the bolts that hold the window motor to the door (they're on the inside of the door, underneath the door panel on my 2G) are tight. Dunno if that applies, but it's something to check.

Rad, I love easy fixes like that. Although it can be the most frustrating when you spend hours on something that would have only taken a minute or two to fix if you had known the problem from the beginning. But then again, that's how you learn.
