as a guy who has worked in the industry years back and out of practice, this is one of the best videos I've seen in a long time. The best thing about it is your explanations on why you do things and the process. kudos to you.
Thanks Charles, I saw plenty of vids that told me how to remove the door panel, but none on how to remove the inner panel and most importantly the pin arrangement for the window glass. Mine was a 2012 Tiguan and this showed clearly what I needed. Perfect thanks!
That pushing the window on the plastic trick is so cool!
I more than once fought the plastic pins, knocking them into the door having to take it all apart again!
Your videos are the absolute best! I have watched several of them. Professional, concise and to the point. Five stars. Thank you much for sharing.
Great vid, the only thing missing was telling how to re-teach the car the new full up/down window position so it doesn't do the anti-pinch action (which my B5.5 did). Hold the window down button until the window reaches the bottom, and keep holding for at least 3 seconds longer. Do the same all the way up, plus 3 seconds longer. It teaches the CCM the new full down and up position of the regulator.
Q
Best to reseal the lower half of that metal carrier panel before re-installation, otherwise you unlock the Passat Pool Party feature. Great video, clever workarounds, and very clear, concise commentary as always.
No way.... I was dreading getting that window pin back on, that trick is pure magic. You're a wizard!
Unfortunately I found this video *after* I just repaired both sides of my 2001 Jetta Wagon. The A1A video shows installing the pins through that little regulator access door. It cannot be done that way, or if it can, it means your pins are too loose. I was so frustrated I even created my own how-to video once I figured it out, but my video is far inferior to this one. Outstanding, Charles! Needless to say I am a subscriber now.
You are a miracle worker mate. Last time the pin thing happens it took me an hour. Today 3 minutes. God bless you!!!
Thank you for the highly comprehensive breakdown of how to do this job I am now confident I know what I'm looking at before replacing the regulator.
I went through this JUST to get to and clean the automatic lock solenoid that quit working some years back (Hint: A follow up video on fixting that woud be awesome here !) THis was a good reminder of things I could have done differently - specifically with that window pin (groan - had I known installing it in the window and engaging the clip later would have saved me hours or agony , but alas this was WAY before You-Tube.) A follow up video of that would be awesome. Awesome job.
Bought a Haynes manual for my 2013 Gti, which was absolutely useless on this occasion, black and white pictures (outdated) with limited info for changing the regulator..I even bought the recommended tools to carry out the job which was a waste of money - if only I found this tutorial before hand....8 yrs on and VW are still using the same glass pins/dowels and man was mine a pain in the...kudos to this clip I got it sorted, getting the pin out was troublesome but installation was a breeze which was mostly to your pin installation trick.
Thanks a bunch Charles! my first time doing a door lock actuator on a Passat and Identifix was worthless with instructions. The window pin trick was a life saver.
First and best explanation on unlatching the door release cable! I have been careful and still broken the tiny plastic tab that keeps this cable hook in place. Major pain replacing and extra expense!
Great vid - came in really handy for swapping a regulator in a mk7 golf. Especially the tip to insert the nylon spreader pins first - and push the window into the regulator. Worked perfectly! Cheers
Just wanted to say thank you for this video. Helped me massively recently, especially the dowel bit. Thank you!
Holy mother of crap I wished I saw this before going to the junk yard last week! I basically had to caveman a regulator out because I didn't bring something to drill out the speaker and didn't know exactly how to take off the nylon bushing. Very good tutorial, Charles.
Great work, fella. Mastery, in fact! 👍🏻 And for the non-believers, 15/64" is roughly 6mm
Tackled my window regulator on the front passenger side on my 2012 Fusion last summer. The amount of rivets used on it was insane. I replaced the rivets with 1/4 inch nuts and bolts so if it ever goes again it'll make disassembly less of a night mare. Wish you would have made this sooner as I had to teach myself but this video serves as great reinforcement!
The Pins installation Trick is ACE !!! Thank you so Much !!!!
Just finished a full rebuild on a 2001 mk4 gti, your tech help has been incredible, cheers mate🤙
Many thanks, I have UK Passat and this has been a great help strip the rear door.
Great commentary.
Thanks! It's different enough from the front window procedure (such as the glass needs to be DOWN) that I needed this vs. the front window videos.
Bro! Your videos have helped me so much with my 2004 Passat. Thank you!
Hell yes !
Well first a local mechanic said we needed a different window (it wouldn't close all the way. Then the glass company said the window is fine, it's a mechanical issue. So we go to Volkswagen reluctantly to once and for all fix the problem. They kept it one hour, charged $80.00 and said it needs a new regulator which they didn't have in stock) gave me an estimate for $680.00, $180. parts, $400 LABOR. So I thought wait a minute how hard can this be? I watched THIS VIDEO and ordered a $165.00 regulator from VW. Today I went out to prepare for the operation, took the panel off and looked around and lo and behold, the white nylon piece was just lying in the bottom of the door! I came in and watched THIS VIDEO again and fixed it without a "new regulator". Thanks for this.
Man I hate they made you pay $80 to misdiagnose this issue. Glad you got it all fixed up
Thank you. I'm replacing my door latch and this video was really helpful. Your guidance kept me from breaking any plastic bits. Keep up the good work.
Great description, those two plastic rivets that you punched out at the end were the missing part for me. My 06 Golf TDI has 3 of them, and in every single other video they've already been punched out and so nobody ever mentions them. Thank you.
glad it helped!
I saw the video and thought "what could be so difficult about changing a window regulator? I did it to my 2009 Fiesta and it was so simple...", then I watched the video and now I got it... Nice tip, good material, thanks!
Haha thank you
Wow! That was fast! hahaha
Your timing was perfect!
If you think this looks complicated, you should look into how to get into a mk5 door
That little white pin always busted my brains as to how to fasten the window again. This makes it so much easier
Thanks for this. Your tip on reinstalling the two part white dowel into the window first worked perfectly. I had my doubts, especially as I had broken one of the guide lugs off the window carrier, but it still worked!
Glad it worked. It took me a while to be confident in doing that. LOL Broken glass is the worst
BRILLIANT Many thanks Charles have to do same rear left window tho You make it look SO Easy
Many Thanks. Steve from UK
Thank you!!
great tutorial, detailed and complete!
Greetings from Colombia, very good video, it helped me a lot to solve the problem with my volkswagen, thanks
Dude, great video. You saved me so much time. The plastic dowel fell out and I was able to tap it back in.
Thank you!!!!
Awesome
@@HumbleMechanic I have a '04, 2.8L, 4Motion wagon. It has a kickass Monsoon double din. I think 200watts.
I'm looking to upgrade to a double din that will configure with the steering wheel stereo controls. Usual upgrades (satellite radio, USB, etc.) Will it require re-wiring or soldering? To work with Steering stereo controls??
Secondly, will an after market double din mess with the Ross Tech diagnostic system I have?
Everything was going great until you got to disconnecting the door latch before removing the actuator panel. What are you doing with your thumb? I'm already an hour working on this with a broken thumb and I can't figure out how to disconnect the connector.
Awesome video Your tops thanks again for the time you spent. Worked perfectly
Perfect timing brother! I was just about to do the same to the drivers side rear door on the W8!!! Thank you for the fantastic video! Your the BEST bro!
Hell yes. It’s the exact same! Well you’ll have to flip the video hahaha.
Karma is real my friend!!! Today I was on the receiving end, when one of our patients father’s gave me his R32 poster!!! I was very happy to give you mine...but I’m going to fame this one like you did! Good vibes brother!
You are the very BEST!
Having owned 5 VW's so far, you are the #1 when it comes to VW how-to! Can you buy these plastic pins for the window somewhere?
I want to know the same thing. I bought the same metal frame replacement kit as shown here by Humble Mechanic and it DID NOT come with a new plastic pin part.
So now what do I do? Where do I get a new one?
Huge same here lol
Hey Charles I have watched a lot of tour videos and you saved me a ton of money because of them. I do have a question about the window motor. My front passenger side window regulator is broke. The window is stuck up but the motor still works. How do I get the glass down to get to the 10mm bolt that holds the glass to the track. Hope to hear from you soon thanks
I've been able to repair broken OEM door panel clips with a little heat from a soldering iron to melt back together, or replacements are readily available online.
Super trick!
Thank you FOR the idea!
amzn.to/2TTxTmU After shooting this video, I found a kit for ~$35 to install new cables. I have no experience with this kit, but I want give you guys another option. The OEM one is ~$200
Excellent explanation of the work, especially in the part how to remove the plastic retainer.Everything explained in a school way.Thank you.
You could also use the power to get the regulator bracket locked into the window instead of pushing it down, just make sure the glass is lined up. Thanks for another great video👍
Many thanks for making and uploading this video! It make it possible for me to fix the problem.
Yeah good video, i have an Audi A3 tfsi 06 model, this happened to me about 3weeks ago now, i must still fix it.
Now i know how, thank very much, good video. 👍
Really good video. The only thing I noticed was I didn't see you fitting the new regulator on fully. Did I miss something? This shows how much a pain in the arse car companies make it for ordinary people to fix these things. Videos like this should be mandatory for car companies to do so people can do it themselves. I'd have been buggered when I saw those rivets!
That is much easier than I thought it would be.
I was just noodling around if I could do this job faster than watching the video. I Think it would be close. LOL
The driver's side is the where all the bad shit happens usually. It gets used the most. I was changing mine and sure enough the door handle cable plastic piece broke off, then the lock rod got stuck .. it was stupid, the whole thing was coming apart under my hands
Thanks! I found this video to be excellent! Easy to follow and understand!
Great video, thanks for the tips about the plastic tab that hold the window. Regards from Norway.
Not a VW fan but enjoy your vids bro
Thank you!!!!
i remember the first time how I put the window pins back, i put the small pin into the the large pin a little to made the large pin open a little be, then put the pins into the hole, because the large pin a little open, so it won't drop all the way, and then I hammer the small pin in, to lock it, I found your way the second time I did.
Hi. Great video. My problem is in a 03 Jetta. I was putting everything back together but the lock release rod came off the door module. I can’t find a way to put it back on. My question is: do I need to take the door module off to insert the rod? Thank you in advance
Can’t think of anything good to say, so whoever is reading this- have an awesome day! 😁
Id say that is a pretty awesome thing to say!!! :)
Thank you. In my case I had to replace also the wires and plastic that holds the window. The problem was the wires that pulls the window were not the exactly right size. I figured out how to deal with this. I just made a knot in the wire just where the wire comes out from the plastic window holder (that's the only place to do the knot). Than it was nice and perfectly snug.
Very helpful having these videos for us mere mortals to follow but I do wish when I put B6 Passat it would actually show a B6 passat and not a B5 or B5.5. Probably the same or very similar but annoying.
Well done & informative video.
Fantastic! I have a 1998 B5 Passat and i need to replace the door lock module from the rear left. I disassembled the door panel and removed all of the screws, but wasn't sure how to disconnect the window. This should do :)
I think you can fish the latch around the window. It’s a pain but it can be done
@@HumbleMechanic I don't see how that is possible. (?) The 1998 Passat has the same full metal cover as what you showed in your video. Maybe i'm just unclear on your comment.
Great video !
I’ve done that on my mk4 golf and b3 Passat syncro.
Vw life
Great video. Can you make a video on how to remove a 2009 CC Rear Window. I'm having a problem replacing the door lock.. Thanks
at 9:00 Don't need to remove those rivets before remove the carrier panel, I remove the carrier panel with the door lock all at once,on rear door that fitted with 1/4 widow or wagon, first you need to remove the short window's rail that fit front of the door lock, then remove the lock bolts and then you can remove the all out a little to easy remove the cable that from the outer handle to the door lock ,then can out at once.some model need to remove the outer door handle at once.
after out ,then can remove and install the rivets easy., front door is easy because no rail there,, Hope this help!
Thank you for a very well easy to follow video. Cheers
Fantastic man! Thx
Can you do a video on the mk6 golf rear door with the big rivet pannel and the removal of the plastic spreder pin
i have mk6 golf s. there are only 2 eletric windows. the driver side eletric window doesnt work. the passenger side works and i can control it with both the switches from driver side and passenger side. i tried to open my driver side window it just wouldn't. when i press the button i could hear a click and thats all. i tried force opening the window but it is very strong and wouldn't open from force. i checked the fuse and its perfect.
Excellent!
R/R window motor problem? When closing the window with a 'one-touch' press of the switch - right when it rolls completely up and then encounters resistance from 'topping-out' - the motor cycles the window right back into open position and goes all the way down...which thens ends with a 'thunk' sound. If I'm 'careful' I can keep it from doing that if I 'nurse' the window closed in 'bursts' of the switch. Seems like two problems?
Thanks for the vid 🙏
Thank you very much, very good how to do it video !
Do you have a video for the front door window installation
@5:18 Don't won't to break the glass- I would advise against banging against that plastic grommet to get it out. I did, broke glass.
Very good explained.
Thank you.
When drilling out rivets I've found it easier to punch the pin out of the rivet first.
I also like to clean the inside bottom of door and check for and clean any weep holes.
If you are reriveting in the same hole that is a great idea. I’ve had bad luck on the OEM rivets getting the center pin out.
@@HumbleMechanic another VW quirk. Never had problems with oem rivets on other vehicles. Leave it to VW. That's alot of wasted material with all that metal that goes away as well. You'd think they would just make the regulator replaceable. Recycle fund for your beverage of choice. Scrap metal adds up.:)
What if I have crunchy noise going down but everything works fine? 2015 Tiguan rear window
I missed where you put the pin back in. It does not show that in the video. Do you have a video that shows that?
Always look forward to seeing your videos man! Always genuine
Thanks my dude!
As a young technician this gives me a lot of inspiration, for my job and my channel!
YESSSSSS!!!! That comment made my day dude. Thank you
Help i cant disconnect that doorlash
When you say 'our' it sounds like a pirates arrr :D
Yarrrrr matey 😂
Thanks mate, your video helped me out today 👍
This is a nice idea and obviously can work, but it went horribly wrong for me.
The first time the window regulator plastic just shattered.
New window regulator fitted and the glass simply slid behind the plastic and got completely wedged inside the door. I had to smash it and replace the glass.
Really good explanations
Dang Charles rivets to hold in the speakers. I bet that is a car audio installers favorite thing. Great video though thank you very much.
Hahaa yea screws would be better.
Thank you So much
Man u helped me soo much. Thanks for soo good vid!
Thank you!! Massively helpful!!!
This video helps out a lot, I just got one question if I wanna remove the entire panel without removing any components, is it possible assuming the window is out of the way ?
Excellent detailed video Thks
super thanks
I feel like window regulator problems for MK3-4 cars replaced the door handle problems of the MK1-2. You know it was going to break as some point so get used to fixing it.
Very good. I love VW. In fact i own one VW Polo.
Great timing, my window pin just broke. 2015 Gti as well, didn't last that long
Thanks
IIIII LIKE IT! IIIIIIII LIIIIIKKEEEE ITTT ALLLLLLLLLLLLLOTT!!!!!! (dumbordumber) Cheerz from norway
On my 2003 Passat, I noticed water coming inside on the footwell carpet. It appears to be coming from the door when it snows and I park the car outside for 4-5 hours. Does the regulator need to have a gasket or seal on its edge all around? I’m wondering if the reason could be a worn seal around the regulator.
Do you have a video on how to install a new peg and dowel ONLY?
Never mind. Turns out someone already had the regulator out, so I didn't need to remove the door latch to remove it. I was hoping to avoid that step, but no big deal. Unfortunately, the plastic peg and dowel weren't inside the door, so I have to wait for the replacement I ordered to arrive. Thanks for the video.
Hey man what would cause the rear glass hatch not to stay up on 08 Touareg? Could only find vids on the whole rear hatch. Much appreciated
Teşekkür ederim adamsın
Great video!
Hey Charles, I'm a new tech and I have a question about something I'm kinda struggling with about how to deal with on the fly. I work in a body shop (contex). What is the process you go through when you run into a situation that isn't standard situation let's say. Maybe the car has been repaired before and the precious shop didn't fix it right, or there is some unforeseen damage. What process to do use as a tech as far as taking notes, pictures, how to approach the job, do you repair it or not?
How do i replace the glass? We had to smash the old glass, ive taken the door pretty much apart for the cleaning. Do you just take the door seal off from the top?
