Drivers window has been working fine, but picked up from storage a couple of weeks ago and the drivers door window is stuck up. There has been ground works going on in the area and thought maybe the window was gummed up with dust, but passenger side is fine. I've got some large suckers that will stick to glass so used one to try and persuade the window to drop whilst operating the button, but it is stuck solid, zero movement up or down. Stripped the door panel off to reveal the mechanism, lots of PTFE spray and gentle persuasion, but still it won't budge. I can hear the dashboard relay clicking and can hear the motor clicking in the door, so was trying to work out if the mechanism is jammed or the window glass is jammed in the runners. Went round the edges of the glass with a blade to clear any debris and also spray PTFE in to the grooves, still jammed. Read somewhere that some guide or slide can become dislodged causing the window to jam, but couldn't see anything obvious after the strip down. Any thoughts please.
Pictures below are looking up at the connection of the glass to the lifter.
Guessing the motor stops operating the mechanism when under load or jammed/blocked like a hand in the window stops the motor.
