Golf window+minus temp= broken runner!!

[mr 1.8t dubbster]

  Just a tip for you....... never try to put your window down if your temp reads -2 to -3 as it will pop your runner of the window as i found out at 5am this morning on the way to work....... but at least it gives me a good reason to take a day off work and head over to my mates customs garage based in mansfield where i can fit my new 007p forge too  my friend andy sharp at sharp customs does professional re-sprays also featured in performance vw mag, check it out on   http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mansfield-United-Kingdom/Sharp-Customs/116309878428811

years ago i had a window fail on a 99 1.8t, that was a plastic clip jobby and also fixed under warranty,  my current 00 2.0 also has a broken window (currently held up by a bit of 4x2 by previous owner) ive not looked myself yet but he said that the wire had come off the mechanism. can anyone here enlighten me as to what the problem here may be and what parts im gonna need.  im assuming its another common fault
