i wound the passenger window down 2 shout at some1, then as i tried 2 wind it back up with the 1 touch i heard a big thud inside the door. the window was stuck down. got home and took the pannel off, the motor works, its the metal wiring got 'chewed' up. managed to get the window up for now.

has this happened to anyone else? anyone know how to get the metal cover fully off, i have got the screws out but its still attached by some black things :(

Sound similiar to the problem Mcgyver had at the weekend in his Octy vRS, I dunno what sorted it. We didn't take it apart (too dark). Managed to close it by lifting it up and pressing the down button :eek: to get it to go up. It sounded like it may have been cable related.

I was just afraid of the window falling down and smashing.

the window was stuck until i got the wire off and the window is free now but the wire is really chewed up at the end, but not broke

Well my problem is related to the Window regulator . Quiet a few of these have failed especially on the Octi's. Mine is due to go in tomorrow morning for repair so here's hoping the issue will be resolved. I will keep you all posted

Heres those photos I was telling you about.

It will need a new window regulator. Very common fault do a few a week.

Its a tricky job if you havent done one before. Not really DIY i'd say unless you have a manual (which they dont do) or a guide (which I havent done as yet).

Best get it into a dealer.

Which part is the regulator ? Maybe you could point it out on link posted above

Yeah I had that happen to me a few weeks ago...somthin' about a plastic clip that holds the window in place breaking or something...got it fixed under warranty....

At least yours broke there where you are and it's cool..I had to drive a whole day in the heat

The Fabia is a different set up to the Octavia.

Brrr! It's October :thumbdwn:

Mine went recently. part is

i need the regulater, quoted

You cant get the regulator on its own, it comes with the ancilleries carrier. Even if you could get it on its own you couldnt set it up so it works trust me I tried when trying to make a good one out of two in an emergency.

they said they only sell the regulator with the wires and stuff but no motor, who have they quoted me 80 with it was 55 for AndyC?? i tried with some new wires, worked til it chewed them, lol.

Thats how I normally fit them.
