Broken window roller? help! lol

So to my not so delightful surprise today, I was trying to roll my drivers side window back up on my bird, and all of a sudden, heard a nasty "SNAP!", and now I can't roll the window all the way back up. It will still roll down, but when I try to roll it fully shut, it just makes a clicking sound and refuses to move :/.

It'll almost shut all the way, but not quite enough to keep the rain out, so I've got to hurry up and figure out how to fix it before the wet weather comes back! lol. What is it? and how much $ am I looking at for parts?

The only real way to know what exactly is happening is to pull the door panel and investigate the regulator/tracks.

What should I be looking for? just making sure everything looks properly lined up and nothing looks broken? how much would replacement parts cost if I need to get new ones? thanks again

Only thing you can do is pull the door panel, it should be obvious what is broken. Get one out of a junkyard if you can, or online, it shouldn't be too expensive.

I have not replaced the regulator in a Camaro but have in other cars. In general it is not hard just a pesky task, my biggest concern would be the door panel remove and install.
