Yesterday, I was out with my daughter and after she got into the car, I asked her why she rolled down the window. She said it went down by itself. After I got into car, I tried to raise it back up but it kept slipping and going down to the point the window is open. I can hear the motor moving but the window is not moving but the windows remains down.

How do I fix it?

Start by troubleshooting to identify the actual problem...electrical or mechanical.

How would it be electrical? I am hearing the windows motor trying to operate but the window is not moving. This tells me that maybe the window slipped out of place or cracked. I am trying to understand the mechanics behind this.

I asked her why she rolled down the window. She said it went down by itself.

You less than precise words led me to think it MIGHT have run down, under power, by itself.

Since you now KNOW it's mechanical, you start by removing the door card (trim) and inspecting.

Electrical speaking, the window motor is what controls the function of the window to go UP or DOWN. Right? Generally, there is power or no power, right? In this case there is power going to that motor because I can hear it trying to move the window. However the window is not responding, as intended, by going up and down. This leads me to believe the window slipped out of place or there is a crack that is not visible to the eye because the window is down.

In regards, to the trim, how does one remove the trim?

Door panel removal:

Most window regulators have cables, driving window glass. Either the cable is torn, the pully/gear driving it is broken (housing by the motor) or cable got loose and slips within "glass carrier" (whatever it's called) on the rail.
remove the window regulator from the door and inspect it, play with it.

Same thing happened to the passenger window in my ‘04 with about 175 k just last week. Had a local shop replace the regulator / motor for $330. Recommend doing both while the door is apart.

Just go ahead and replace the whole assembly. Less than $50 bucks from RockAuto. There are several YouTube videos to show you the process. Less than an hour total time even for a inexperienced person.

At rockauto just find the vehicle and then search window regulator.

That would be the window regulator. Either a cable snapped or a plastic gear cracked. If its the passenger side here is the part:
