My driver rear window regulator failed today as I pulled in the driveway.

Try the the rear window controls in the back seat if you havent already. My passenger side rear window quit working last year while I was on my honeymoon, and I figured for sure it was the regulator- given their natorious habit of failing. After ripping the door apart to assess the situation and get the window back up (it's cold in Bayfield, WI in November!) and not finding anything visibly broken, my bride asks "did you try the switch in the back seat?"

it works! Hopefully you have the same luck
