Default Power window drama

Hi all. I have a AU1 and the passenger side front window is stuck down. When you press the switch you can hear the motor click on. Any ideas. Thanks, Adam.

I've had dramas with this in the past the metal cable pulled through the plastic holder, aslo the plactic guides wear out on the verital bar for the up and down motion. In my case it was repair by replacement. Its was a bit of a waste over just worn plastic but thats just the way it goes.
