The same thing happend to me the first day i bought my mk4, the regulator cable broke and my window wudnt go back up.. regulator repair kits on ebay are about 10-15 quid but there is a vw breaker here in nottingham(east midlands) who you may be able to get the lot off:

Basford

NG6 0GA

It's because your window was frozen to the rubber. If you can get another bit of glass from the breakers it's easy enough to do, if you've got the plastic regulator clips you'll need to do them at the same time as Ralphy says
