There is an adjustment screw around the middle of the door, you have to remove the panel to access it. From memory, it limits the vertical travel of the window assembly.

You could try and move the top of the quarter light inwards. From memory, it's attached to the door frame at the bottom. If you loosen the bolt, there should be a little adjustment in and out. Remember to have the window lowered as you push the quarter light frame in, to avoid the risk of breaking it. Failing success with that process, you could always try a little subtle brute force on the quarter light, but you would have to remove the quarter glass, fiddly.

 

Good luck,

If there is about 2-3 cm before it reaches the top you would not get it any further up. If you can take your hand and push it up further, then it means the top teeth on your window regulator is worn. So when the window reaches this height, the gear on the window motor can no longer grip it.

The cause of wear on these is due to the window being pushed against the top of the roof frame every time you open and close the door. Many newer cars tend to move the window up about 2 seconds after the door is closed and also lowers it by around 2-3 cm every time you open the door. It is like this on BMW E36, E46, E92 etc. Audi A4 convertible.
