It should go all the way down, it must be binding in the runners.
Clean any moss out of them and dust some talc in there, should do the trick (if it is that!)

well had a tinker and guess what???
there was a bolt through the central runner preventing the window from going all the way down,
all sorted now so i can now drive with my elbow out the window when the summer comes :cheesy:
