The motors on all four windows were repaired or replaced a few years ago; the rear passenger window is not working and will not stay closed. Currently it is duck taped closed, when not taped, the window slips down 3-4 inches. Is there an inexpensive permanent repair such as professionally glueing the window closed?

“Professionally Glueing” Windows? That’s “Professional” Jury Rigging!

There probably is a way for somebody to put a block in the door to hold the window closed. While they’re in there looking at it, maybe they’ll see an easy “fix”.
