1998 jetta glx window problem

[punkrckdrummer]

I just bought a 98 jetta glx and it has a few problems, one of which is my rear left window will roll down by the button but will not roll back up. and, I can move the window with my hand. any suggestions on how to fix it? I can hear the motor but the window just wont move.

The door panel will have to come off, probably a broken clip on the regulator.

I had the same problem with my 97 GLX, I ended up having to change my window regulator, the clip had broke, which over time bent the regulator.

how much did it cost to replace?

The list price from VW for the regulator was 86.60, I got it for 69.28 (The parts guy thinks I'm hot, so I get discounts in the parts ept.). I took it to a glass place, they installed for 40, VW wanted to charge 150. Too bad a woman works in the service counter.
