If it was me and I was that desperate to get out I would just pull the window up to the top and wedge it in place and leave it like that til I figured out how to fix it proply! You might have to take the door card off to get at it, dunno much about FLs - disco man meself.

Loatmead,
This is ref the drivers window http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/electric-window-problem-33998.html, but the fix for the wire is similar.I used throttle cable off a wrecker in the station yard to fix my window.

Hope it helps,

Does anyone know where i can get a cable kit from as the old one is very bent a distorted as well as being snapped.Other than that the motor and spool which the wire goes round all seen fine.
Thanks.

Loatmead,
See the thread, quite a few people suggest either BMX gear cable, ex Halfords, or a car throttle cable. Not sure what length you need, just get the longest you can & cut it to length.

Regards,
