morning all

just had the rear offside window fail leaving the window open 6 inches the window wound down as normal but would not go back up all other windows work fine and i can hear the relay click when i press the buttons on either the rear door or drivers door. Would be grateful if someone had any ideas of where i should start looking?
Thanks in advance
 
The cable is in a loop with the window connected to one side of the loop and the motor drum at the other.
The reason it's failed half way up is easy to explain. While the window is up. Water drips down the glass and into the bottom cable roller guide. This rusts and weakens the cable, which then fails. The cable often fails while it's being wound onto the motor drum. This jambs the window in a position a few inches from the top. So a new cable is needed. Also don't keep trying to activate the window, or you'll burn the motor out too. That turns a £10 job onto more expensive job.
