>>>If the window is well and truly stuck, the only way to get it down is to 
remove the four bolts that hold the window regulator in place, and the single 
screw that holds the arm to the bottom of the glass, then lower the regulator 
and arm down out of the way.   Then you can slide the window down a few inches, 
unbolt the rollers which will then enable you to remove the guide, and slide 
the window back up, then secure it with duct tape wrapped around the top of 
the door.   Once that's done, you can remove the regulator, and fix the problem, 
which is unquestionably a broken gear.
