I did see that post, and tried the tape- I couldn't get the window to move. After I got access to the door interior, I applied power to move window up, while trying to lift the window from below, still no luck. The motor attempts to lift it but the window won't move.

I noticed that with the window down (after it failed) the exterior door handle would not return to its fully relaxed position- it would remain slightly proud of that, perhaps 1/8-3/16". The plastic clips attaching the glass to the regulator seem fine, and the regulator cable appears to be taught.
