So my friend had his arm Leaning out the window and when I went to close the window it hit his arm. When I went to close the window again it moved a little but then stopped. As we tried to close the window it somehow popped out and now is in my door. Anyone know how to fix this?

the doorskin is the outside metal cover to the door - I'd be leaving that in place.
with the inside trim off have a look and see what you can find - window may simply have jumped out of the track as suggested. There are plenty of cables and bits in there, so something there may have come undone. Also check the mechanism that holds the window channel, these can fail as well.
If all else fails, take some pics and post them here

Once you've removed the door cards, you'll see the doorskin which you may need to remove - this video gives you an idea of what you're dealing with window track wise.

The problem will be the window regulator, and its plastic parts.
There is a great DIY here VWVortex.com - DIY - Replacing the front door window regulator clips and/or door lock module
Get the kit from VW, about $120, then spend the better part of 3hrs fixing it.MK4 GTI - Sold
