Clio 172 electric window problem

[Buzz 44]

I just tried to close the drivers side front electric window on my clio 172 ph.1 and there was a horrible grinding noise.:S The window will no longer go up electrically (i have to lift it by hand) but it will go down on the switch. Has anyone any idea what the problem might be/how easy it is to gain access to the motor etc. Thanks in advance.

Take the door card off and have a look, chances are the plastic thing the window sits on has cracked or snapped.

sounds like the regulator is away. cable has probably snapped

As above, its the window regulator, mine both went within a month of each other.

20-25 minute job, only difficulty is pulling the f**king door card away from that black glue resin

Cheers for the replies, is it just the 3 torx screws holding the doorcard on?

Think theres more than that mate, you will have to take the speaker off aswell to allow you to pull the door card off, be carefull as to not rip the plastic back if theres still a screw in, thatll cause you no end of grief!
