Default Power window problem(Mechanical)

Hey guys,

I was getting my truck ready for tomorrows ski trip while listening to music with my window down. After I was done I went to put my window back up, but it only made it about half way before I heard a snap and it slid back down in the door housing. Now when I use the switch all I hear is grinding and spinning. I took off the door panel hoping to understand how it works, but I'm clueless. Has anyone had this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Mik

Here's a picture of a power window set up not entirely unlike yours.
Motor on the bottom, window mount on the top, the u shaped piece is a tube with a worm gear in it that extends to push the window up. It sounds like your motor casing is broken or the teeth on the gears are broken.
