We were lowering the passenger front window which went all the way to the bottom, accompanied by a horrible clattering. That was it stuck down, any attempts to raise it just produced the rattling. Luckily it was in the middle of a heatwave.

Took the door card off and motor but can only lift the window up 2" to try to get to the clamps. There's a cable with a nipple visible loose inside the door by the locking button which is draped over a pulley (see photo, sorry about the socks).

Any suggestions?

Skoda Fabia Ambiente 1.2 12V (BME)

If you unscrew and remove the motor, you may be able to pull the glass up manually.

Edit, apologies, re-reading your post I see you already tried that.
