I had this problem on a Rover 600.Went to my local (non franchise) garaged and he sugested spraying silicon spray down the sides of the window frame before doing anything drastic. went home got out the pledge and did not have any further problems with it.

Where would i get silicon spray from Davwood and how much is it? Glasstech thanks for the suggestion i'll try having a look at the mechanism but not messing about with it too much!! (Although i usually can't resist having a fiddle). See if anything seems out of the ordinary like you said and if not i've give Davwood idea a go. Do you think it may be a good idea to spray the silicon spray along the runners inside the door??
Its approaching summer and we've had some lovely weather lately and i really don't want a window stuck closed! :-(

Pledge, as in common furniture spray polish is probably not the best answer but the easiest silicone to get hold of. Dry silicone spray is probably better. They make it for curtain tracks.

My window wound up lop-sided which was jolly awkward, I bought some silicone lubricant (didn't say it was dry, goes on damp & dries). I put some of that on the rubber runners down the sides of the door & it's fine now. It was £5.99 from a small car accessory shop, it is safe for glass, rubber, even wood if you've got sticky drawers.

belive i got a can of silicon spray from halfords. I can't remeber how much it was but it wasn't expensive. I used it on the sunroof runners as well which improved the operation a lot.
Good luck
