Hi All,

Anyone got any suggestions how to 'un-jam' a drivers side electric window on an S3. I've checked fuse etc (well, the other side is working and the handbook says they are on the same one!).

Any tips on how to get to the window to un jam it or any other suggestions on what it could be greatfully recvd

I'm stuck in the tin top til its fixed so please...help!

Swop the switch in the centre console over first, this will prove if the switch is ok. Next step is to remove the door trim and check power to the motor.

Good luck,
JSG.

If the motor is working at all you should be able to help the window up by pulling up on the glass. Not much help but at least you can drive the car while you're sorting it?
