78000 mi Driver's side window partially "fell down." Removed door panel and found that in-door nuts holding up the window actuator had either fallen out or were extremely loose. All missing nuts had thankfully fallen into the door frame. Retrieved with a magnetic tool, applied blue Loctite to actuator bolts, and reattached nuts. No further issues with the window since.
