Default drivers window not working

Firstly I'd like to say Hi tripped over the site while looking around

secondly my 240 gl etsate had window problems when i bought it last year
the window would go down but not up again
after driving around with door card removed enablimg me to fiddle with the motor / mechanisum at drop of a hat , i figured there was a friction problem causing the window to stop !
I found the motor worked without load fine
I managed to cure this by stripping the motor down the conections to wich there are two live in earth out and in between the live and the motor itself is a ( Load Resistor ) this i asume stops the window when it meets most restence
ie: fully closed / fully open
so all i did was strip some fine wire and rap a couple of threads around the resistor just to try it out , and it worked motor still shut off at peak loads and a year on it works fine .
hope this helps
