Elec Windows on 93 Merc Marquis
My son has a 93 Mercury Marquis with electric windows. 3 out of 4 electric windows do not work. (fortunately the A/C still does as we live in Florida :

I'm guessing the grease may have dried out in the window regulator or the channel slides need new felt. Since you say it seems the motor works and the window moves when helped, a good DIYer may be able to fix the problem with labor only.
I recommend the following sites to research your problem further:

Sorry that I was not clearer. The windows only move when manually forced (or natural vibration lowers them. I am fairly sure that the motor mechanism is not engaged with the window, so it is not like I am manually helping the motor/cable. In other words it feels and acts like the window is not responsive to the motor at all as if it is off the track. Would you still agree that it may be just a felt or grease problem?

With your additional info it now sounds like the windows popped off the regulator tracks. The problem should be immediately apparent once the door panels are removed. Once fixed it should be checked for binding or excessive resistance, which may lead you back to regreasing the regulator channels or repairing the felt runners.

it needs a new regulator assembly common problem on crown vics and grand marqi suggest you do not try to repair your regulator and just purchase a new regulator, as per as changing it is not that difficult you may have to drill out pop rivets to remove and while you do not necasarily have to use rivets when reinstalling if not using pop rivets use caution when using bolts with locking nuts at glass attachment as it takes very little pressure to cause glass breakage.
a couple of strips of duct tape over the door frame is usaully sufficient to hold the glass up and to keep it from falling when it is removed from regulator.
