Need Help with Passenger Side Power Window

I have 98 GTI and passenger side window isn't working properly. It will go up and down but it gets stuck and makes a pretty harsh noise when going up. I noticed the window appeared to be a little loose, like you could pull it up 1/4" or so. Took the door appart and couldn't figure out a way to adjust that if it is possible. Any clues if this can be adjusted or is a just worn out parts?

Is the window electric or manual??

Sounds like the regulator---I've got one bad one on my GTI and 3 on my wife's Jetta. Best price I've found is at Adirondack (www.germanautoparts.com) roughly $160 with the window motor, however it's an aftermarket bolt-on kit that I've been told works fine. I don't even want to know how much the dealer is on that part!
