Kia Optima Door Problem

I have a 2006 Kia Optima and the back pasenger side window wont roll up. It rolls down but is now stuck almost completely down. I've tried to pull it up but it wont work. How do I get it back up before I can take it to a professional?

Did you try using the driver door and pasenger door switch separately?
Do you hear any motor noises within the door while operating the switches?
Are you able to get it going further down?

If the motor can still function, the problem is with the switches and can either be from the master or passenger switch.

Try swapping with driver side rear door switch to get it up.
If this does not work, you would need to remove the door panel and disconnect the motor wires and apply battery voltage to the terminals and grounding the other wire. Reversing the polarity would get the glass up or down.
