Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'regulator' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'regulator' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

No, I have the soft top. But now that you mention it, there is a rubber piece on the soft top that the window slides along that is torn slightly. But it does not appear upon initial observation that this piece is obstructing the window. Stealership said it could be the regulator. $1900 parts/labor HAHAHAH!! I nearly fell out my chair.
hehehe....I just fell out of my chair reading that myself! Not sure if the regulator is an all or none type of device that once it goes, the window goes completely or if you could suffer from partial operation like yours.
Make sure that there is absolutely NOTHING keeping it from going up. See if you can "help" it up when raising it to see if you feel any resistance on anything.
Short of that, I would troubleshoot a bit more and then seek the help of an indy that will charge nowhere close to 2K! I know there is a pretty good DIY write-up over on Renntech regarding the regulator replacement in the door. You might want to check if there is one for the rear window. The part can't be more than a couple hundred benjamins.
you know.... that happened to my cab.... and about another 2 weeks later i had to replace it.......luckily for me, the place i bought my porsche took care of the bill....... man........ too much ac is NOT good.....
yup.... it was the regulator.... they play tricks on you..... it'll work then it won't then all of it sudden, it seemed fine until one day, i dropped the window, and it never came back up..........*what ever noise homer simpson makes while slapping his forehead*
