Hi
After a frosty night my daughters 2007 Ibiza drivers window startled playing up. It’ll only go up three quarters way, even tried assisting it and still won’t go up. Goes down fine and up three quarters fine. No noises etc

any ideas please?

cheers

Hi,

You should take of door panel and give it a look. Take off motor for window regulator and check if it works normally with out any load. If so, problem is in window raiser assembly. Probablly broken plastic pieces. Not hard to fix, but you must take off door trim. Be careful not to smash window.

Cheers

Thanks for reply. I’ve taken the outer door card off. Do I need to take off the metal one now that hold the assembly and window on?
Cheers

If you like to inspect motor, you do not need to take off metal cover. Just unscrew three motor bolts, take out motor, connect it and try the motor, if it is good, than it is raiser assembly. Than you must remove metal panel. To remove it, first unscrew metal clips holding bottom of the window. You must either remove the window or (I would do this), tape it to top of the door so it doesn't fall down. when removed metal panel inspect cables, pulleys and plastic parts.

Thanks for reply-
Took motor off first and tried pulling window up but still jammed, took the metal panel off to inspect, the cable had frayed inside the white plastic where the motor connects. Put on new regulator.

the hardest part was getting the bolts undone to get glass off as it was blocking the access holes
Behind rubber grommet ?
