Anyone have this issue ? I was driving last week and my window intermittently would go up, now it’s stuck down not moving. I can hear the gears attempt to push the window further down if I try, indicating that the down side of the switch is working. Any ideas ?

Had same on passenger side. Does the motor turn / make noises in both directions? Mine was broken mechanism so pulled up the glass and taped in position for the journey to garage.

The advice is to only put window up if possible. I found this out after the fact as well. Maybe another reader will remember when their window misbehaves.
It impossible to DIY the fix, but this time I chickened out as the MOT was expiring.
