OK, I’ve been meaning to make this video for a while now but haven’t had a chance. I try to explain the repair process in this video. Basically when your window regulator wire fails it either snaps or jams around the plastic cog. What then happens is the window will wind up and make a horrible metal on glass scratching noise or simply jam and go back down. This is because the wire has either snapped or gummed up.
You can repair these by buying pre tensioned repair kits on ebay, dismantling them and rethreading the kits and reassembling. Once the kits are assembled just cut the tensioner and everything is good.
I always buy my kits from the ebay seller ozkam-uk and never had any issues. An example auction is here… (note, this kit is PRETENSIONED) they’re better and worth the extra money. I’m not being paid any money by ozkam I just find their items the best to use

Please use the following guide for any pointers…

Process is quite easy
1) Dismantle old failed kit
2) Assemble basic runners on new kit to old window clamps
3) Fit new kit
4) Remove tensioner and enjoy repaired window for £15
