If anyone can help, I have a dilemma. The passenger window in my 2005 Toyota Corolla seemed to fall out of its track or something yesterday. I took it to a mechanic today to have it fixed. I am getting a quote of almost $700. I hear the motor is fine, but the window regulator is bad. Although the window glass is not broken, he tells me that the whole window must be replaced because of how it ties to the regulator rod? Now I've started researching online and see many people doing this repair themselves. Is this a DIY project, or a $700 fix left to the professionals?

I don't know what he's trying to feed you there but there is no reason to change the glass if it's not damaged. It merely bolts to the regulator. I doubt you would save much trying to do this yourself because the bulk of the cost is parts and you can break the plastic parts easily.
I would expect the price to be close to $500 to $600 though. Alldata shows the regulator at

be careful when you tighten the the bolts for the regulator onto the glass. a fraction too tight and you WILL be replacing the glass

To add; Mitchell labor guide shows 1.1 hrs. labor to replace regulator.

Thanks for the helpful reply. It didn't sound right to me either, but I picked up the car yesterday. I walked away with a $95 shop fee and a window that is now permanently in the up position (better than open I suppose). I pressed on the glass issue, and was assured that Toyotas use a strip of metal that is somehow "bonded" to the bottom of the glass, and that is why they say the window would need replacing.
I'm not convinced, especially hearing what you all have to say. I have a trusted mechanic across town I'll likely take it to later, for now as long as the window isn't falling out, I'll deal with the inconvenience of not being able to open it. A bummer on a car less than 4 years old that never has passengers.

Yes, the strip is permanently bonded to the glass but the strip bolts to the regulator.
