can you help?

my drivers side window goes down perfectly every time but.....

on the majority of occassions when i do it up it goes up a bit, then sticks, then goes up a bit more, then sticks etc..etc.... (taking me about 2 minutes to do my bloody window up!)

then on the other hand some times it works perfectly!?

its probably quite blantently an electrical problem ( possibly a loose wire) but in that case why does it go down perfectly every time?

cheers
