Thank you very much 1A AUTO for this well produced tutorial- you guys REALLY took the curve out of the learning curve on this one! The driver's door glass on my Jetta slipped out of the pinch clamps after a hard Chicago freeze. The regulator survived so I didn't need any parts. I will certainly keep you in mind in the future.A million thanks again!

Thank you for your instructions. You were very clear and detailed. The job was a cinch with your help. Since the lame plastic clips in mine were broken and the window fell down (of course it was raining cats and dogs and I had to drive on the freeway for 30 miles), I had to fix it ASAP. I had to buy locally. I will look you guys up when I have a job that can wait for delivery. Thanks again. If you accepted donations, I would be happy to send you something.

As a project, I have to soundproof my car doors and the window regulator has the same design. Your video gave me the confidence on how-to disassemble and proceed. Great video, very useful. Thanks

@ericfrancis7816 7 лет назад

Thanks so much! Just helped replace the regulators in both front doors of a friend's '03 Jetta Sportwagen. The driver's side window had taken a dive last weekend, and once I got everything unscrewed on the passenger's side the motor mount on the old regulator just fell off. Good timing!

@malikraynor8754 9 лет назад

THANKS SOOOOOO MUCH for doing this video! My VW dealer tried to charge $529 to do this repair. With the part from your site I think I paid $70 tops for everything I needed to buy for this. Much appreciated!

How difficult was this repair? I'm worried about the speaker part/rivets the most.

@1AAuto 5 лет назад

+Benjamin Grant The level of difficulty will depend on your experience as well as the condition of the vehicle and the parts.

@1AAuto 10 лет назад

@Ahmed Elmisry To get the window out of the door it would need to be disconnected from the window regulator. Remove the regulator too, and then you should be able to tilt the window in the door and remove it.

@djwhite667 5 лет назад

@Bartholomeo Puglia If the cable on the window regulator broke, you would need to replace the window regulator as shown in this video. The way it's designed on this vehicle, is that it's built into the inner door panel. If you click on the link in the video we have them for sale on our website. Hope this helps you out.

@lindellviktor 4 года назад

That wasn't how you change the window regulator but rather how you replace the whole inside of the door. How do you roll up/re-attach the window wire spool after taking that off? Show me That!

While reinstalling my door , as in the video at min 8:16 seconds, the lock rod came off: Is there any way to reconnect the lock rod? Thanks.

Can you purchase one for crank manual style regulators? I looked online and they say power without motor, wondering if that will work? Although I dont know about how the gears will match. My passenger side went out for my 1999 vw jetta.

I'm trying to fix my Window since it fell into the door it's not broken and neither is the motor can I remove this metal price without removing the Window or is there any way to get the window up and out of the door

@700namtih 4 года назад

What if it’s a Manuel window is it still same steps?

@icemandos 8 лет назад

Hi, Nice detailed video. I had no problems doing the job. I also ordered the regulator from you. The only problem is that the window does not roll all the way down like it did with the OEM one. Is there anyway to adjust it so the window goes all the way down? Right now it stays up about an inch or so.

@alanw5812 2 года назад

regulator need to reset every time you did, the auto stop function need to reset, go up and down, when all the way keep holding more than 10 second,if not do it again, every model I think are the same.

@timeisnow9855 7 лет назад

Hey guys - thanks for the video - any idea what it means if the window is fine going down but then when going back up it goes click, click, click spaced a few seconds apart as if something is rotating inside and gaining friction?

@1AAuto 7 лет назад

+Ben Jarvie You may want to inspect the motor gears to see if there are any teeth on it that are worn or missing. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com

Great video. Many thanks, but in the video at 5:07 you turn off something. When do you put it back? VW Passat ( 2003 y )

@1AAuto 5 лет назад

+Szabó József Thank you for watching. At 5:07 it appears there is a tab that gets released which is attached to the regulator. The tab would then need to be tucked back inside the door panel when reinstalling the new regulator.

@jimcharles4985 2 года назад

Looks like a nice detailed video.. But...before I tear apart my 05 jetta(drivers window stuck down about 6 inches) I want to be sure to have correct parts! Once the interior panel is off can I test to determine if problem is regulator or motor? Thanks,Jim

@alanw5812 2 года назад

first remove the cover so you can see the window motor remove those three bolts with the wiring plug in, push the switch see the motor work , then move the window by hand up and down to see gear turning .. but if you want the quick way, just use hand up down the window, if can move a lot that the regulator, if can't that may be the motor or other problems.

@MAGWolf 9 лет назад

I have manual windows is it basically same method? I can't even figure out what part number I need for manual window regulator. I have a 2000 VW golf GL 2-door witch I think is Mk4 style.

@1AAuto 9 лет назад

It may be a similar repair. We currently do not have an auto repair video that shows this repair. We'll keep this in mind in the event that we need to make this repair in the future. Thanks for watching. Have a great day. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393

@mvfs 7 лет назад

My passenger side window fell down because it was stuck on a cold winter day and I pressed the window button down, so the arm went down and the window was stuck frozen in closed position and then fell once it unthawed, but I was able to bring the window back up by grabbing it with two butter knives with tape to get a hold of it, so I brought the window up almost fully, and then when I pressed the window up button to bring the arms back up, the regulator grabbed onto the window again, and now the window works as normal. My question for 1AA or anyone who may know is, how does the arm grab onto the window? is it just a two sided rubber clip that grabs the window? or is there some kind of pin that connects the clip more securely? The window goes up and down normally now, but I'm afraid that on a cold day it may not have enough grab to bring the window down and I will run into this issue again. I would like to know if I actually have to replace these clips, or if I am good to go. Thanks guys!

I want to fix the automatic window regulators in my 1997 vw jetta, does this video apply to that car? and if not do you have one that does?

It should be the same repair. Usually the auto up/down feature is controlled by the switch. Thanks for watching.

@@1AAuto I have the door panel removed and it's uclear to me how I would push the window up. The only access point is the two 1.5 inch circles you use to remove the window clamps once it's in place - not sure how to get the window up with the tips of my fingers

@JD-nx6by 8 месяцев назад

So the window glass is all the way down in the door no way to get a grip on it to lift it, the drive mechanism is broke and definitely will not lift it up enough to access those last two bolts that hold the glass clamps to the regulator things. Cannot remove the panel. No access holes through the panel to permit access to the glass to lift it up. "Catch-22" dilemma. Now what? Get out a tool to start cutting up the panel into pieces ? Lightbulb moment. I got this, problem solved. They should have put it in their video.
