I’ve never ever had to do this with the x3 mk4 golfs owned since 2003......yet! I feel your pain bro. However all my vehicles have had the failed lock regulator.
finally someone who shares on youtoube the same f....... troubles I had years ago.........:-) // that's the reason, I do keep now the ones from my other Mark IV..... :-) // the thing I cannot rember is, why your doorpin isn't moving the way it is suposed to..... // greetings
This was 2 years ago ... your video is very helpful ... however .. I just did the job by myself ... if you reinstall the motor after the guides, and connect the switch to the controls, you can get the guides in the position and don't have to hold them. Just an FYI on how to ... Thanks for taking the time to share! Cheers!
This happened on my cupra r, identical inner door cards I highly recommend you get some butyl putty and reseal the inner door car before your foot wells are brimming with water mate, don’t make the same mistake I did it’s not fun haha
Or do what I did, I bought a full golf door from a breakers for £10, took the full metal inner panel, threw it in mine, now I have a full spare door/glass/door card/ central locking mechanism
I took a look at my roommates Passat because she said her window won’t work and the local shop wanted $700. I’m glad I came across your video because I was fucking baffled after doing some research but I. Waiting for the kit to come and will use your video to guide me through the process. Thank you very much. Aloha 🤙🏽🐝
@8:15, if you'd left the window motor bolted on here or bolted it back on now it'd be easier. It's really not that difficult job, I done it about 3 weeks ago and took about an hour on my own, also if you get wet rear footwell now when it rains it's because you need to run a bead of silicone around the metal door card thing that holds the regulator on as you've broken its seal.
I bought a rear door replacement for my 5door 1.8t right colour match bonus!! However it had tinted film on it where as my original door was just plain glass - what a pig of a job it was to fit my old glass and three quarters pane of glass and outer seals in to the new door - chuffed when it was complete - but majorly disappointed with the shut lines and the ripples I made in the lower window seal - keep up the videos 🙂 just got myself a ko3s and a bcm filter for mine slippery slope hahaha!! - although I think my 2001 already has a ko3s yet only 150bhp but it's loosing air and boost occasionally so it's got to be swapped Cheers G
Great vid was at the meet 27th you was there was gunna say hi but not a very confident person, thanks for letting me out I was the straight pipeed rover 😂😂
I had my driver side window drop in the snow with no tools with me and away from home, I was driving in the snow without that window up. Couple months later, in the summer, the passenger side dropped. I were able to just use that 2 holes to bring the window up and sit them on the clips which are unbroken, and now, I just won't open them, doesn't wantbtobdo it, but since both of the front broke, I might just do it together, what a fun experience...
soy el unico que cambio el alzacristallo y no me quedo perfecto? despues de probar 1000 veces al final no me cierra completamente y al momento de bajarlo tengo que ayudarlo con la mano. algunos tips porfavor
Wish it was as simple as that on the Skoda, all I had was the door card and then a metal bar going across the door and you had to angle the regulator with the mechanism out of the door...
Next time put the motor back in before you put the glass in to stop the regulator moving, oh and just buy the whole regulator and bolt it on ! Much easier!! There’s no doubt you’ll be doing the drivers side soon. 😞
you can reset the window auto up function,need to hold the switch up all the way and keep holding for more than 10 second, but better don't do this, because the auto up function made the cable hold too tight all the time, that why the cable and that holder you just replaced broken, may be leave it manual better.
I'm replacing the wire on my golf, I've took a wire off my spare golf which has manual window winders and trying to put them on to an electric window system, The cog that holds wire on the manual window system is bigger than the cog on electric window system, Trying to wind the cables back around the cog is an absolute knitemare, Is there an easy way of doing this Also that clip the guy broke so the lock doesn't show going up and down, sometimes through vibration and movement the lock button hits the door card every time you lock the car, it instantly unlock again, sometimes 3 or 4 attempts are needed to lock the car other times no point in locking it, and you may also get locked in that door and have to use the passenger's side to get out .. .that's the lock buttons fault, not letting the actuator coming fully up, I would also take the weather strip off the door, it gives the glass more room to come out, If your In a scrap yard taking these parts off a car battery with and two wires and touch the plug terminals on the window motor directly, if the window goes up switch the + and - it should go down, and tests the motor is working I've replaced 3 of these window regulators on golfs but this is the first time I'm doing the wire change, also the wire is from a mk4 golf manual window to a golf mk5 plus electric window regulators.... It might not even be possible??
another good vid bro keep it up. u can get the whole panel off ebay for £26 just have to drill the pop rivets out for the speaker of old one and resecure too new one much easyer bro
Scrap yard is full of them, £10 with speaker. Scrap yard is a god send and cheaper than gumtree/ebay breaker's and a lot will still let you take shit off yourself so your learning on scrap so no big deal if things break.just need to find a friendly scrap yard....most are... because money talks.
Just bought a mk4 gti too, loving it so far but substantial power steering leak somewhere that I can’t seem to find 🙃 don’t know if you’ve had any power steering issues or know of any common problems?

I can make a prediction. i had the same problem.... broke the same bracket ..... my little door buttonthingy didn't come all the way up :-s .... eventually you driver side central locks will stop working and you need to replace the lockmechanism/microswitches. it turned out that the buttonthingy was binding and eventually fucked up the central locking.
great vid man my cousins passat had same problem accept his window fell off the siders got his fixed then went to my bora and them clips broke #vwproblems
Bruuuh i have done this job but the regulator doesn't have the same problem from year to year and in find it difficult to undo the bolts and end up drilling them it was a pain in the @@s but after tha point it was very easy if you have basic knowledge
These are poorly made cars. That plastic ring that holds the speaker just went into dissolution. Its so brittle. Now that i have became familiar with this car after some years,i see how bad quality even the cheapest things to fabricate is on it. Have a Volvo 740 from 86, and the most important plastic pieces are much better quality on it after almost 40 years. It scares the shit out of me how better things where made in the older days.
If you own a mk4 golf and you haven't had to do this job your very lucky.

@@seanlyons161 that's probably because the previous owner has replaced them before you 😜. Give it time before the crappy plastic parishes.

Done 5 of these over 3 different VW’s and it never gets easier 😂. Stopped using wind deflectors now.

cheers pal....was about to break that bracket until i watched this!!
helpful misses, with those nails, impressive!
a need to do this with mine,,cheers for showing
had to be done to my golf mk4! ball of a job! in the end i paid a friend £40 to do it for me lol!
Wait till you do a back window the glass is on a plastic clip and roll pin I’ve smashed 2 windows doing them now 🙈

Haha no problem mate 😂👍
Happened on my old fiesta. Spent ages trying to fix it! Hope it doesn't happen on my gti!

nice video man same thing happened to my Fabia, on the drivers side it was a nightmare getting it fixed.
Cheers man glad it's all okay now 👌
Spray some silicone lubricant spray along runners,window will slide better.
Wish it was as simple as that on the Skoda, all I had was the door card and then a metal bar going across the door and you had to angle the regulator with the mechanism out of the door...
Passenger side on my Jetta wont roll down i can hear the clips make a cracking noise, im going to try and tackle it on my own.
Next time put the motor back in before you put the glass in to stop the regulator moving, oh and just buy the whole regulator and bolt it on ! Much easier!!
There’s no doubt you’ll be doing the drivers side soon. 😞
thanks for he video, fun and do the job, even I know now to do but still learn something .
Wait till ypu have to do it on your a4. Thats a whole new level 😂
3:45 helped a lot, visually helped

I've done 2 of these in the last 2 months.... a twat of a job!
Wtf were they thinking with that poxy design!
I'm replacing the wire on my golf, I've took a wire off my spare golf which has manual window winders and trying to put them on to an electric window system,
The cog that holds wire on the manual window system is bigger than the cog on electric window system,
Trying to wind the cables back around the cog is an absolute knitemare,
Is there an easy way of doing this
Also that clip the guy broke so the lock doesn't show going up and down, sometimes through vibration and movement the lock button hits the door card every time you lock the car, it instantly unlock again, sometimes 3 or 4 attempts are needed to lock the car other times no point in locking it, and you may also get locked in that door and have to use the passenger's side to get out ..
.that's the lock buttons fault, not letting the actuator coming fully up,

I have this problem currently. Is your window working normally now ?
Yea it's all good 🤞

10k before 2019?
Damn right...I say 10k before November if it keeps up.
Hope so 🤞
Balls of a job to do.
Not looking forward to the drivers side going 😩
Consider yourself lucky you don't own a mk5. The window regulator requires you to take the top and outside of the door off.
No the lock rod you managed to disconnect does not connect to a spring, it has to be pushed threw a small hole in the lock, sorry 3 years to late.
Wow, you made a meal of that. Just buy a whole new or second hand regulator, 2 hour job, tops.
Well that looked like a fucking nightmare job
Good to know
Somewhat makes me feel like the thermostat that needs doing on my tfsi isn’t that bad, that looks like a fiddly shitty job lol.
i did it today, the Plastic thing is broken. it was hard job
Just wait until your heater core goes... dash and subframe come out
This is literally like a 30 minute job done probably 20 of them now
Vasaline , try grease dude lol
Autoglass broke mine on my v5 golf replacing the drivers door glass ....arsehole spent hours replacing it all at there cost...lol
