At a guess, the wire could've snapped, or come off the runner. But, I would expect it to drop if it did.

 

The only way you're going to know is by taking off the door card. Easy to do, but go easy and take your time. DON'T yank it off.

How long have you had the car?, has the window ever worked in your ownership?.

 

If the answer is no, my guess is the cable has snapped and someone has lodged the window shut with something like a piece of wood - hence why you can hear the motor.

It's always worked.. I noticed when the car was frozen like an idiot I tried to lower the passenger and driver window the driver came down but passenger stayed up... 🙃

Thanks Dean... I'm gonna get my pal at work to have a look ... I've got the touch of a rapist so deffo not the job for me !

In which case it's probably the regulator cable snapped by the motor gear cog.

 

I would put a couple of lengths of gaffer tape over the top of the frame of the door and onto the window before you remove the trim, just in case to cable comes out of the runner while your friend is dismantling.

 

Good luck with the fix. 👍
