Hi everyone - I'm wondering if there's a way to force a window into the up position. My motor just broke and right now the window is 6-12" open.

Unbolt the glass from the bracket, slide it up, put a phillips screwdriver through the door and the glass plate to hold it up.

The broken part in your photo is not motor related, its part of the regulator. You may need a new power window regulator. VW 251837462 (passenger side) $100

Contact me directly if looking for, in my opinion the best solution. I can be reached by E mail but prefer a phone call. Yes I know that people are scared to use them but they work for me everyday.

Easy enough to replace the broken rivet(?) that let the guide hang loose with a bolt, but its a PITA to get the cable that is all scrunched up back out and into the proper alignment again, but it can be done.
