Front Electric Window collapse

[ecoangel]

Car had been under a Lime Tree for a few days - washed windscreen and with proper summer temps evident this week opened the front windows. Alas one side refused to go back up - did manage to gently push it back up to seal against next rains but appears somewhat disconnected now.

Anyone else had glass/motor issues?

It sounds like the cable has either snapped or ripped out of the plastic glass-carrier. This is more common on the rear electric window frames. @depronman provides a repair kit.
On the front doors, I’ve only ever remedied this issue by simply replacing the whole frame with a working used part.

Cheers,

Tom
