Hello, it could be the window regulator. I've seen that same thing happen on a Honda Accord -- the regulator went bad and the window fell if you tried to hold it up.

If you think it's the regulator and you want to replace it yourself, Amazon sells a passenger side window regulator for the 1998 Buick Century for $59.16 (with the motor included). You can see a video tutorial showing how to replace the regulator here:
