Drivers window dropped!

Is there a link to repairing power windows? I guess the "plastic ribbon" broke. Can't see anything. I need to know how to take it apart and where can I get the ribbon, if that's what it is, thanks

Yes the plastic ribbon has probably given up, i recommend upgrading to the later C4 type. Faster up and down and fits the door, you will never look back and you will be kicking yourself for having put up with the ribbon type for so long.

What you need to repair your one is here.

Here it what the whole early assembly looks like.

THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED forget the early window regulators.
