Can the window pop out of the regulator without the regulator being broke? I took off my passenger front regulator and it looks fine. The previous two times the cable snapped but this time it didn't. It's got a warranty but how am I supposed to exchange it for a new one if this one doesn't appear to be broken.
Question about a window regulator

Yeah that's exactly what happened. I hope you're right.
Have you done the regulator replacement before? There are plastic clips that hold the window. You tighten the clips with a bolt so they "grab" the window. It is really only friction that holds it in place. So, cold day with frozen window? Yes I can definitely see it happening. I went to roll down my window the other day and it was frozen. I decided it was better to open the door than risk it. Of course my car had been sitting in an airport parking lot for a week. It isn't easy to dig out of 20" of snow with only an ice scraper.
Nah this is my first time doing it. I don't know a damn thing about cars but I figure it's about time to start doing the 'easy' stuff. I printed out the write-up another member here posted and I took the regulator out just fine. I'll look for those plastic clips that hold onto the window. The big question is how the f*ck I'm going to get the regulator back in there. Thanks for the advice rainjacks.

yes, twice on my 1st gen i had the plastic pin that holds the glass to the regulator bracket fall out, and had to stick it back in.
