Worst door assembly design I've ever encountered.

[@maryyoung6380]

I am having this done tomorrow by my VW repair technician.
I drive a 2004 Beetle.
After viewing this video,
I have concluded that must have a genius and mathematical mind to complete this task.
Bravo to you!

[@christylewis6103]

So I just got an estimate of $850 to do mine on my 2007 bug. I thought I’d it really that hard?? I found the door panels with the regulators in place. You make this look easy but I’m thinking, can I do this on my own?? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

[@readplanet23]

What a job to repair that door assembly. Thank You for the informative and educational video. Keep up the good work. Have A Good Day! 🚙🚘🚗

[@alangravestock6510]

Great video. Very clear, methodical and concise considering how complex the design is. I successfully replaced the regulator albeit with a lot of cursing and throwing of tools. Would highly recommend getting the replacement regulator complete with back panel.
Thanks

[@deluxetransport3208]

Perfect I just watched to the end because I wanted to watch you do it and then I learned that you have to learn the windows thanks good video

[@marksutcliffe770]

Did you miss out the part where you removed the old wires.

[@yuralmspw4911]

window fall down on my beetle 2000, how to fix it myself? Will try to dissassemble like you did and will see what can be done

[@TRQ]

+LMS PW We're always cycling through common cars. We'll add this repair to our list! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@MeshelleMyBell]

But what about how to remove and install the actual regulator?! That's the premise of this video and it was barely touched on! 😢

[@vanilla24ful]

Great video thank you

[@aidenlira9716]

do the rails on the back go in front of the window or behind (as in like more so towards the cabin)

[@gabesemployee3524]

what’s the foam in the inside of the door for? mine came loose and the window wouldn’t go down all the way, so i took my door apart and i took the foam out and now it works, is the form necessary?

[@zalanocsko154]

Hi, I suddenly had 3 elective peobpemas. 1, my odometer shows no speed, my outside temperature sensor stopped at 11 degrees, my fuel level, even though it goes up and down in turns, then drops to 0. These errors occurred simultaneously. what do you think it could be?

[@bob-ye9fr]

i have problem with my beetle window and am trying to get an idea of fix. it seems to me you missed out a big section where you connected wires from new regulator. shame

[@edcarter6687]

What to do when cable broke and window is in down position?

[@IanHornsby-ej6uw]

Bit pointless if you cannot lower your window!!
