Ok, so someone tried to break into my car the other day and left me with a huge mess to figure out, so maybe some nico guys could help me out.

My actual window wasn't broken but for some reason when i rolled my window down it wouldn't come back up all the way. The window came about half way up, and then the motor made a sort of grinding nose (the noise is like when you take of those toy cars you have to pull back to wind up and you pull it back too far) when i rolled it down again, it only came about 1/4 way up before it stopped and started grinding, then i rolled it down again and it didn't come up at all, all it did was make a grinding noise

at this point i pulled the door apart, pulled the motor out, and ran it without it being connected to the window, it worked fine. so cranked the window up by hand and put the door back together.

when i tried it again it did the same thing, but this time i tried pulling the window up by hand while i pressed the window up button, it didn't work, i couldn't pull the window up at all, until i took the door apart again.

i checked for anything that could be stopping the window or jamming it, but i didn't see anything and the window is in its proper track

note: the motor grinds when the window jams, it will not grind while the window is moving
