Hey guys, just after a bit of help.

My rear left passenger window goes down with the button but not back up again (window has to be pulled back up). I can hear the motor working when pressing up and down on the button and the window can be pushed down at any time meaning the window isn't locking :(

Anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be?
I appreciate any advice.

Cheers

This sounds to me like a MK3 typical problem.
Have you only tried using the button on the door? or have you also tried the button from the centre console in the front?
Do you experience the same issue.

If yes, then as Pristle has kindly pointed out, a new regulator or more likely the motor will need to be swapped out.

Pop the door card off the door and have a look if you can see anything obviously wrong in there.

IIRC, there are 3 screws in the handle on the door. Use a small flat head screw driver to pry off the front half of the handle (at the seam), then you can access the screws to pop the door card off.

There is a ridiculous little piece of plastic on the regulator cable clamp thingy that breaks causing this issue. Blocks of wood hold up the window and keep the rain out  :P

Yea, using the center console has the same effect as using the door control.

Thanks for the advice guys, will open the door up and have a look this weekend. Got a feeling it might be to do with that the piece of plastic on the regulator cable clamp.

Will update with when I have found the issue  :D

I think I may have used cable ties when the little plastic thing broke on mine   :P
