Default Bad window?

Hey guys!
I got a driver side front window that is going bad. The window will work sometimes, go up and down perfectly fine and other times it will go down but won't go back up. I've already replaced the window motor and that didn't really change much so I'm thinking it's the window regulators? Other ideas I have is a bad fuse or a bad plug that plugs into the window motor but I doubt that.

The car is a 2001 Audi a6 2.7T.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks!
PS: If it is the regulators can you please give me a link on step by step instructions for installation? Thanks again!

Matt

Oh and I should mention that sometimes it sounds like the motor is working and sometimes the motor doesn't even turn at all. This would point me into believing it's a bad fuse/plug.

Check "Osco" on ebay. They sell the clips alone, you won't have to buy the entire regulator assembly. I did the the rear window assembly on mine for $90, only to have the other side break 2 days later. Got the plastic clip delivered for $20...
