Window only goes half down..

My driver side window only goes about half way down now and then stops. Some times it will make a slight pop and then go all the way down, only to not want to come all the way back up. Anyone have this happen to them? I heard camaro's are famous for the rivets holding the window tracks in to get loose over time and then it gets caught on its self.

How would I fix this half opening window? Plus it feels like I can slide the window forward and back in its track. Can't ride with the t-tops off with a window stuck half up...

Does it slow down and then stop or does it just stop? Sounds like the window motor is going out, take the door panel out and see what's happening when it gets to that spot, only takes 5 minutes.

It stops suddenly...Like its caught on something. I just wondered if anyone knew what to look for.
