Window stuck in down position

URGENT!!

I'm hoping someone can help me! I have a convertible A4 B6 model and the window is stuck in the down position. I managed to pull it up whilst holding the button and it made a scrape noise. I then lowered it and tried to raise it again and it will only go up About 1/4 of an inch. I've had the door card off and can't see anything trapping it does anyone know what this problem is likely to be?

Many thanks

Window regulator cable has failed, very common problem on VAG cars from that era.

Do you know if there is a way I can manually put it up?

Other than removing the regulator cable & wedging the window up no. Pretty pointless as you would still need to strip it all down, so may as well fit a new part. You can probably get a new regulator from eurocarparts.

Brilliant. Thanks for your help
