F&%£*!g Window, think the regulator gone

[godsANGER]

Hay all

Just on way back from my mates and i could here a wind noise coming from the passenger door, thought he had not closed it right so waited till i got off the motorway and saw it was the window that was down about 10mm so pushed button . . . . no movement but could here the motor trying so thought must be frozen.

So waited till i got back home went round tried the window . . . . . sounds but no movement. so i put my hands ether side and lifted the glass in to place thought well it wasn’t frozen so tried to open window still nothing.

So i am going to guess it the window regular. It hasn’t dropped it just wouldn’t move. Taped it up anyways better safe then having to clean up loads of glass lol

Any advice anyone.
and not taking it to vw because they well have my pants down lol is it a easy fix ?

Thanks

Two options  mate. Either the window regulator fixing kit, which I think is a ballache to fit, but is alot cheaper than replacing the whole part.

ok would i be able to just buy a full door in black from a scrapys and do a straight replace or get one from a different colour and replace the inners?

This is how my car stands atm, i do like the colour coded tape lol

deffo sounds like window reg, wouldnt bother with buying another door as you may get one with old w@nky plastic reg clips and it go again...lol , get the metal clip kit for £20-£30 and spent an hour doing diy... its easy and saves you £££'s


 

done loads of my own and for other peeps, a worth while mod for car security and not p!ssing you off at a worser than worse time... (cause it wont happen when you put you car in your garage etc... it will alwayshappen when your out / going somewhere!!

welcome to the club mate

One thing, have you tried winding the glass all the way up on the button? Might have just come off the clips...

The repair kit is about £35 each, did both of mine last winter

sounds like the cables and/or motor have broken then.

Go down the dealers mate, I posted the part numbers in the maintenance section a while back
