88 4runner window

The window on the driver side won't roll up. I have to pick it up with one hand pushing it up and the one other rolling it. How can I fix this?

Replace the regulator, probably. Is it power or manual?

It is manual.

easy to fix just pull the door skin off unbolt the regulator from the window track pull the window up then unbolt the regulator from the door and replace it.

I just did this myself, it's an easy fix. The hardest part is removing the little clip holding the crank handle on. Once you've got that off and the arm rest removed, pull the interior door skin and peel back the moisture barrier as gently as you can, you want to be able to put it back. Looking through the holes in the door, roll the window down until you can see the two 10mm bolts holding the end of the regulator to the bottom of the window - duct-tape the window in place right there and remove those bolts. Now remove the three 10mm bolts holding the regulator itself (they're around the crank handle). Maneuver the old regulator out. Lube the window runners inside the door with graphite. Install the new regulator, bolting it first to the door and then the window, tape the moisture barrier back in place, put the skin back on and replace the doodads, and you're done.

Don't listen to the FSM on this one, you don't need to pull the window glass out or pull any of the trim.

I've never gotten that to work for me, on any car, not once. I use a screwdriver and a pair of needlenose.
