Electric window won’t close

[RevPhilip]

Hi All. Tonight I went to put up the drivers window, which every time I have closed it for the last week or two, had been closing more and more slowly. But  tonight it would not go up! Or move at all. As it was dark, I have taken the door card off and managed to help the window to close, so I could lock the car and know it was safe tonight. I will have a look at it in the morning. But any help, tips, you have had this before and did...stories would be most welcome. 

The same window did this before, but was fixed under warranty at my local Toyota garage, so I don’t know what they did to fix it. 

Thanks in advance

If the window has been slowing down. I would spray all the surround with silicon spray. What happens is the felt like material drys out.

That'll be silicone spray - rather different from silicon! 😉

All fixed now. My local garaged fixed it. One part had got stuck.
