Calling MK3 Boffins - Electric Window Fun

Just had the exact same problem with the Rears: The regulator was damaged, and internally in the motor the wire had jumped off the spool wheel and was internally spooling out, also a plastic clip that holds the wires flush against the inner door wall had snapped and the wire was loose to be snagged as the window went up, snagged and the motor automatically reversed. New reg fixed it, but after looking at the minor damage i could of patched it up.
The drivers controls for the rear has a lockout button, try that. Manually bridge it to see if its the switch, otherwise it must be in the wiring somewhere between the drivers switch and the windows.

Fronts same deal as above, the reg is damaged, this is common a small plastic stop gets damaged and can damage the motor mechanism is it gets jammed in their. I suggest a new reg, easy to install as they usually come pre wire wound.

I've done 4 regs in my Mk3, its common, and usualy the small plastic ends that fail and unspool the wire in the motor, or the motor spooler itself.
