1996 jetta window wouldnt go up , then it did. Accidently put it down and now it isnt budging. Took off panel, it is not binding. When button is pushed you can hear a click at motor but nothing happens. Im thinking relay or motor? I dont believe its regulator but who knows. opinions appreciated
Sounds like a failed motor. With time and use, they go. A relay would be external, are you sure the click is from inside the motor? Disconnect the leads and use a volt meter to determine if it is seeing 12v or other.
Is the motor engaging? Couldn't tell from your post. Around that time, vw was notorious for using plastic window clips that would fail, and leave windows stuck down - plastic would age and break. Motor would be fine. Tons of recalls to replace with metal clips. Seems like a possibility if the motor seems to be ok.

Just a slight noticable 'click at window motor, hardware seems fine, wires look good. Have a cold and It snowed so wont be doin it anytime soon, .... will update when problem resolved
Try having someone push upward on the glass from outside while hitting the up switch of electric. Sometimes that will work if its the motor going out.
