You seem to know how to do this of the top of your head - anyone would think you have removed the door card a few times....  :undecided:  :lipsrsealed:  :laugh:

You'll also need a new window regulator most likely, same thing happened to me the other day, the wiring on the regulator snapped causing the window just to crash down so I'm guessing that's whats happened to you aswell !

It will be the plastic clips that have snapped,

£30 for a kit off ebay to repair. Its not a bad job, just fiddly
