May  well be an   alignment problem.  Remove  the panel  in the driver's
door, but don't yet  unplug  the wires  from  the power windows  switch.
Then turn  the ignition key to  the "run" position  and lower the window
just about half an inch, so  the two screws  attaching the lower edge of
the  window to the transport  mechanism are easily  reachable (there's a
hole in the sheet metal of the door for getting at one of these screws).
Switch off ignition and unplug the various wires  on the switches in the
door panel, so  you can completely  remove the panel.  Loosen, but don't
remove these two screws  at the lower  edge  of the window.  Then  again
plug in the power  window switch, turn on ignition  and roll the  window
down.  If it now rolls down rather  smoothly, roll it  up and down a few
times until you  are satisfied, then  roll  it up until  one  of the two
screws again aligns with the hole.  Tighten screws, check operability of
window, repeat process if not yet satisfied, else re-mount door panel.

If this doesn't work for you, you  may have a  mechanical problem in the
gearbox attached directly to the power window motor.  After removing the
whole power window assembly from  inside the  door  this gearbox can  be
opened (and later closed again :-) without a problem (about half a dozen
screws).

I hope this helps.

Sincerely
 Rainer
