Couple of years ago, my drivers side window kept sticking when I pressed the down button, eventually the mechanism failed and the window fell down with a crash, the repair which needed a new regulator cost nearly £500.
Recently it is playing up again, press down, opens a few inches and stops. I have to actually to press down and pull the window down. Passengers window has never failed.
I assume I need to lubricate something, like the rear vertical side of the window as it slides down in the rubber, is that right?
And what would you use?
Anybody had same problem?

Dont be tempted to keep raising and lowering the window - thats what buggers it and = the £500 repair bill.
The door card is extremely easy to remove, and it should either be a free, or minimal cost repair (the new blue clips are pence or pounds from the dealer).
Good luck, its perfectly DIYable. Its a bit of a pisstake that the dealers charge you for a new regulator, as I think more often than not, its only the runners that need sorting.
