Fancy earning £40.00? Then you've come to the right thread.
All I ask is that you fit my window regulator! I've got the part, but after much research - I've decided I'm not attempting it, lol.
So come on MK4 guys, help a fellow GTI member out for £40! :grin:
*only easy if you know how to fit a window reg to a MK4 lol.

Its easy!!
You got the rails or just the cables and clips?
Juts make sure you route the cables the correct way.
Hardest part is getting the bloodly plug off the door module

push, pinch and pull (sometimes with a wiggle :grin: )! Most people overlook the "push" step which can make breaking the seal really difficult

Its getting your hand in there to pinch it. I ended up using a allen key to pinch it, failing that rip it off...

It really isn't that hard once you get the fecking door card and inner panel off. That bit is a BIATCH!
Seriously though I'm not mechanically minded at all, but I managed it with a mate.
