Hi, decided to look at my slow/sticky drivers window.
The part that moves, with teeth on seems quite loose, does this mean the bearing is knackered and i need a whole new unit? Or is there any repair i can do?
Cheers

Long time back, the same thing happened to mine, I drilled some lose rivets out and put new ones in, its still all good

Noticed the glass can actually 'rotate' slightly, which is causing it to jam

The guides on all windows only have to be a tiny bit out of parallel/position for this to happen. Sometimes taking the window right to the bottom before trying to get it to go back up to the top might help temporarily. Have to do this with drivers door of wifey's Pluriel.
Second what's been said above about ensuring accurate positioning of guides and lubrication of moving parts.

I think that's the problem I had and Brian found that rubber piece and put it back for me, I think it's a channel to stop the window going like that its like a guide for the window

It might be at the bottom of the door (like mine) or you won't see it only feel it, right in the left-hand side of the door on the hinge side
