After rolling my driver side window all the way down, I can't get it to
go back up. It goes up very slightly then it seems as if the handle
just keeps slipping and makes a grinding type of sound. How difficult
is this to repair myself, keeping in mind that I do not have very many
tools onhand nor am I a car expert by any means. Thanks for any help.

 

Usually you may work a screw driver around to release the crank:

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure what you mean by "release the
crank." I can get it to go up very slightly, but then it starts to
slip. It had been a lingering problem which could be solved by pushing
the crank in while slowly turning it, but that isn't working this time.
I normally just never roll the window down all the way, but today I
did accidentally, and now it's really stuck.

You will have to open up the door panel so you can see what is going on.

It might be something just as simple as being off the window track.
