Be nice to hear how you sorted it.

It would have involved door card removal and weatherstrip sheet removing to gain access to the internals of the regulator.

Had to undo the 3 bolts that hold regulator and motor in situ drop the regulator to bottom of door which dropped the window 6 inches then mark where the 2 screws are that hold the glass to regulator then refit the regulator to move glass back up drill the marked points then undo regulator to bottom of door panel again and undo the 2 torx screws through the newly drilled holes and then push window up tape it in place to remove regulator and fit a new one obviously have to remove door card weather strip and water seal membrane first
