Front drivers window packed up

(1/4) > >>

Jons1001:
Morning all, my front drivers side window packed up yesterday. It makes quite a bit of noise when the switch is pressed but no movement whatsoever, just stuck.

Anyone advise what i should be looking for when i remove the door card? Is there a chance its just come off the rails? Cheers

terrier:
Possible snapped cable  Door skin removal Take note of the skin screws as they are different,will need replacing exactly
Plenty of good guides "Y" shaped crash bar does NOT have to be removed Grease cable when fitted :happy2:
 Dont be tempted to buy cable only

Hi thanks for the advice. Sorry to sound thick but when you say don't just buy the cable what else are you referring to?

Follow this guide then you can focus on the window regulator once the door skin is off.

You won't see anything taking the interior door card off other than a speaker :)

I've done this job more than once on a few VW's and Audi's and I'd advise buying the entire regulator as an unit (already built up) they're cheap enough and it makes the job ten times easier than having to fiddle about with the cables and new clips etc.

Loads of youtube videos showing how to do the job. It's pretty straightforward. The regulator is bolted behind the inner door panel, you'll need to take the door card and the inner panel off to access it.
