It is not there are a few pieces this video does not have. For examole there are 2 plastic pieces connected to the door that I cant remove. In this video he already took them off or just broke the piece
"It is not there. There are a few pieces ....". I am about to do my 2002 front window glass. Would appreciate learning what you discovered @youndrrago2979. I will trade you info on the rear glass. :)
Charles, you're a legend man, Thanks for all these Valuable tips, only thing is,,why isn't there like 2 Billion thumbs up and likes ?? 🤔,,take care and please keep on posting more nuggets, Bless 😇
Recently did this on a 2012 golf tdi Driver's side rear door, the lock mechanism quit working and key less entry would not lock this door. The window regulator is riveted in on these models. Quite a bit of work just to repair the electronic door lock mechanism. Probably close to a $1000 repair including parts had I taken it to the dealer. Rumor has it VW has not come up with a fix for the pre Urea injected diesels and will be forced to buy them back, or rather the owners will be forced into the buy back I'm hoping this is not the case I love mine bought it brand new 100,000 trouble free miles. Vag Com is a must for the fuel filter changes, I think VW could have created a better system to purge the air out of the fuel system this is most likely the reason for failed Injector pumps, as I'm sure you well know. keep up the good work and updates for the Diesel guys the last update was very informative and much appreciated...
Thanks good vid but the only bit i revisited for doesn’t show the bit between the after markt speaker comment to actualy removing the panel .. as mine seems reluctant to pull away although it feels wobbly / lose..!? Thanks ✌️
How do you replace the yellow part, or is that not possible? I found one on ebay but cant get the last silver bolt off the yellow electric winder crank thing
question for you. i would like to start my schooling in the fall. my concern is that i do have a criminal record violent misdemeanors on it. would that make it difficult to find work with reputable service shops or would it be a waste of time and money to go to school for this profession.
Hello from Europe. After I remove 10mm bolts the metal panel is still attached. I don't know how to remove it. Window motor is working but the window is not going all the way up.
Humble mechanic, I recently parted out a mk4 golf and several people contacted me regarding the rear door lock mechanism and needed to replace it but the door was unable to be opened .....video suggestion?
The DS window on our 2018 Atlas rattles when down, you can even jiggle it between the dew wipes... Is there a chance the regulator became loose or broken? Not wanting to pay the dealer $150 to look inside so I'll tackle that.
Charles I'm at my limit of patience with these B5 regulators. My 3rd one in 6 months broke again today. This time the plastic Clips broke and the window fell down in the door. I already went online. Another $70 down the tube on this money pit. I can just replace the plastic clips from eBay but I'm not wasting my time with that. Did that before and then two months later the cable snapped. It's a good car. But Vw failed at building regulators that hold up.
How do you remove the electrical connector for the door latch? Where is the pressure point to release the clip? The front top, middle or bottom of the clip?
It took me almost an hour to find the pressure release point for this on the passenger rear-door. I just don’t understand. He makes it look so easy in the video 😅
Heya, any chance you might do a Eurovan power regulator removal. Kinda problematic. Rock Auto does have a rebuild service (rather than $500) Isuue for us in the shade is getting the cable type out. thanks man
My first car was a Lloyd. The word yellow has like 17 letters in it on the wiring diagram. This has nothing to do with anything else, except, VW uses the word "regulator" here, and also for the mechanical part with holds the rear window the crank is connect to with a cable. (use a C-clamp to inset the pin through the glass on a 2002 jetta). I wonder if the Engineers ever consider that someone has to repair items. DYI is not easy using non-specific instructions. But, as @youngdrago2979 writes, certain important details are not shown on the videos. I wonder if the 2 brackets on the front window should have a torgue amount. But IF there is a rubber piece inside the bracket, there is a little wiggle room.
Bro good evening,I have a question please. In a Vw T5 its same procedure? I need change central lock of right door but also have that dismantle all window and inside panel same you. Do you belive that its the same procedure bro? Thanks for your channel!!
I suspect if you remove the motor, you can wiggle the glass down. I like cranks. Cycle the electric motor a few times a year to been the contacts/roator/stator shinny. People must check all the windows before the warrenty runs out. I have no clue how the motor knows when to stop going up or down. The toothed timing belt on a crank/cam shaft needs to be done correctly. A window? Ignorance I admit.
Hey man the electrical connector for the door latch on my car is completely stuck and won’t just slip out like yours did. Is there any other way I can pull it out? It’s just not budging and I don’t wanna break it
@@jasperivin-smith5460 yeah dude after a lot of checking it turns out there is a latch just not where he shows here, I found mine a little higher and deeper it was just a bit stuck! Good luck dude
Great video. Best, most succinct video I found for this. I replaced my window regulator yesterday thanks to you. One question, I lost the three phillips screws that hold the interior panel in place. Can you tell me the specs on those?
Thanks John! Off hand I don't know 100% for sure. I am guessing they are 6x1.00 and about 20mm. That is a total guess. Some times the parts catalog will tell the dealer the size. It may be worth calling the dealer. Heck they might not even be that much new. Or swing by the junk yard and "find" a few ;)
Hey Charles, how do you reattach the rear window to the window regulator on the mk4 golf. They use the two piece plastic shims but they are so hard to reinsert and realign. In there are special tool thst allows youbto do the job better.
2002 Jetta wagon has one plastic plug/pin on the rear window. Getting it out is with a bolt, so the pictures show/say. As for reinserting, the larger plug goes in the hole fairly easily. The inner pin, which expands the plug, can be started by hand. You only have to get in a little way in, and can push with the handle of the screw driver. The secret IS that when you lose your nerve to fear of breaking the glass, since you want the pin to be flush, use a C-Clamp which slowly pushes the pin the rest of the way. Since the back side of the C-clamp is resting on the back side of the plus, there is no pressure on the glass itself. It's done on the bench/table before the window is inserted. 2024 Pennsylvania. Don't destroy the plug/pin removing them. My mechanic / adviser said you will never find a replacement.
At 0.30 there should be two rivets there, someone didn't put it back last time, because it hard to put it back, Don't need to remove those rivets before remove the carrier panel, it will hard to put it back, I remove the carrier panel with the door lock all at once, first on rear door if fitted 1/4 window or wagon, 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 models need to remove outer door handle at once. after out ,then can remove and install the rivets easy., front door is easy because no window's rail there, Sorry you can't just show how to remove, that because install is different way to do,Hope this help!
My passengers side window has stay down and will not lift up, even when person operates the window button and one of us pulls at the glass. The white tabs just sit near the bottom. No matter what I try I can not get the glass out. Any answers from VW car lovers very much welcome. ( VW PASSAT ESTATE 2003 MODEL
that is almost exactly the same as a hyundai sonata. the sonata has a clip that hols the lock mechanism wiring in, but otherwise it's the exact same thing.
well, you left out the part where you push those two plastic pins in that are right by the locking rod, so I destroyed that part on accident. Hope that's not important on re-assembly....Not kknocking the video, but anyone about to attempt this, find some other videos to catch missing step. ruclips.net/video/faIIfxKv-AQ/видео.html
easy peazy until you get to that horse chit door latch electrical connector of the type that you "just squeeze and they come right apart"... I'll probably just cut and re-solder the fking wires. Great video though. You are not responsible for said horse chit connectors....
@@HumbleMechanic its really not on some versions of the MK4. Check on your video here where the most people are fast forwarding to, its where you remove the wire harness on the door lock module lol.The point to press the clip down is facing a way that you cannot release the clip. It seems on these you need to remove the entire door lock module to be able to remove the connecter.
7 years ago? I thought this was "current." And if might B soon. Heed that Congress has their hands on a lot of things credited or blamed on the President. All those parties take into consideration IF the act helps with getting re-elected. That is their JOB, not governing wisely. The world is a complicated place, and many do not know how things work in their "homeland." Two chickens in every pot is a different crowd from 2 cars in every garage. And the chicken doesn't arrive because someone spent the taxes elsewhere.

Thank you for this video I just replaced my fist window regulator on my mk4 Jetta wagon 1.8t
Man, do I wish I had this video two years ago! Great videos! You are a top notch wrench turner!
Thanks. Just needed this video on right time as ma friend requested me to replace the regulator on VW golf!
Im just cracking up by the way you're face has grease all over lol GREAT JOB BUDDY I ALOWAYS LIKE YOU'RE VIDEOS
Thanks good vid but the only bit i revisited for doesn’t show the bit between the after markt speaker comment to actualy removing the panel .. as mine seems reluctant to pull away although it feels wobbly / lose..!?
Thanks ✌️
Thanks you so much very well explain. Greetings from Mexico
Use a socket to remove the wire clips from behind.
Just push it over, it will compress the tangs and you can pull it away
How do you replace the yellow part, or is that not possible? I found one on ebay but cant get the last silver bolt off the yellow electric winder crank thing
Good job 👍

Hello from Europe. After I remove 10mm bolts the metal panel is still attached. I don't know how to remove it. Window motor is working but the window is not going all the way up.
If you roll it all the way down and all the way up a few times, will it not re-learn the position?
Do u have to remove the glass at that point? I watched other video and they didn’t. Thanks in advance
Does the window regulator motor control the locking mechanism as well as I cannot use key to lock and unlock on button just by manually.
Humble mechanic, I recently parted out a mk4 golf and several people contacted me regarding the rear door lock mechanism and needed to replace it but the door was unable to be opened .....video suggestion?
Yet another excellent, well done video.

Thanks. That looks simple af
Just what I needed for my b5.5! awesome!
Hi, I like your Video. I have a Golf 2007 how about the Glass?
How can u remove the window if its all the way down and there's no power to lift it.
Thanks 🙏
I wish mine was that easy. I have a 98 saturn so I have to take the exterior door shell off to get to mine.

Is this removal similar to a MK6 GTI? Thanks in advance
Thank you Charles!
Have you got a video on a vw scirocco as mine seems different?
Hello humble machenic which cars use the same electric window as the mk3
So what would I need to do if I need to take the after market speakers out that are currently on the broken part to put them on the new/salvage one?
Did this twice on my daughter's beetle. I broke every wire clip and duct taped it back. I should have received demerits.
do you not have to undo the lock mechanism in the door check, before you can get the regulator out
Hi struggling to remove the central connection on my 2004 multivan please help
