I'm just visiting your lovely forum, but if your windows are like the ones in my 95 Caprice it's probably just the little plastic rollers that broke, not really expensive, but a bit of work, I'll check and see if I can find a part number for your car.

Sadly, my guess would be the regulator...

There's a wire in there that pulls the window up and down and it has a habit of breaking off at one of the end points.

I don't think they should be that expensive... Where did you get them from?

The rear window regulator is available here as well. For what it's worth... A lot of the B-body guys love this site, although they don't have quite as much for W-body's.
