Exclamation 2003 Z4 E85 3.0 driver's window does not function

My 2003 Z4 E85 3.0 was stored in a farmer's equipment shed for the last six months with a trickle charger maintaining the battery.

Yesterday we successfully drove the Z4 out of storage but have a completely new issue:

The driver's side window is fully up and will not go down.

I can detect a brief pulse feeling when pushing the window switch down so I assume power is getting to window regulator but nothing happens to lower the window after a brief or prolonged press of the window switch.

The passenger side window and the convertible top work just fine. The mirrors work fine.

However, even though the passenger side window goes up and down I do notice it does not drop a bit as the convertible top closes as it had pre-storage.

I 'd appreciate any DIY suggestions to try to restore the up/down functions of the driver's side window prior to going into the dealership.

Thanks for your time/attention.
