Thought I would share this.
The passenger door window jammed about halfway up. Except sometimes it worked. There was a knocking sound at the jam point. After removing the trim. Loosening, tightening bolts, wiggling everything at the jam point. I finally noticed the problem. The bottom of the glass sits in a channel. That channel develops a bit of rust which makes it swell. Towards the front edge of the channel, if it has swelled out, it catches on something inside the door on the way up. This makes it pull out more until its bent out enough to stop the window. Put some pliers etc. onto it and squash it back.
