could be the ARB itself needs replacing if it's an older one with plastic collars for the bushings. Had it myself and had to replace the ARB with a newer one with metal collars to stop the inner bushes moving

How to fix electric windows

It was only a light roughing up. I agree more aggressive, but by no means overboard. Same job effectively -
How to fix electric windows
ricardo_smooth replied to Gman1978's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
FYI I did this yesterday as in the 6 years of ownership, the one touch hasn't worked on the passenger window from the drivers control, I used a standard pot scourer pad to roug up the brass contacts lightly and cleaned the rubber pad with some 'elbow grease' multipurpose household degreaser. I dried off the ruber pad and reassembled and all worked well, so no need to buy anything you haven't got in your house already. I did it this way knowing that I might kill it completely for the purposes of research -
