Urgent help please!!! Door panel!

[Coxy]

My wife has rung me from work to tell me the window won't go back up on the Coupe (1989). She's bought the car home and taken the tank to work instead (Audi 80 TDi!!). So I'm left with a car on my drive which the window won't go up!! The motor is working but I've a feeling the something has jammed inside it as there was a nice crucnhing noise!!
So far, I've located 2 screws, one at the side just above the lock mechanism and the one behind the handle. Are there anymore and how do I remove the panel??

There are two allen key/star drive hidden deep in the arm rest access via two little holes in the underside. Wind these and the arm comes off then it exposes more screws. Once in you may find the wire has jumped off the regulator. Easiest fit is another one from the breaker.

cheers! That was the easy bit by the looks of it!!!
Got the panel off and looks like one of the green pulley has broken and the pulley wires are just randomly doing their own thing!!

All the electrics are fine. Got it back together in a fashion! The top plastic pulley wheel as broken and the retaining plasic clip for one of the wires is a bit mushed so pops out. I've put it all back with the window up and not reconnected the o/s window switch so it can't happen again!
