Re: Window regulator problem
Just talked to the folks at 5th ave, and since I'm not the original owner it is not covered under the 7yr warranty for the clips. Hopefully it'll just cost me 275 to fix.
To answer your question Brent, I can still hear the motor running when I try to use the switch, but nothing happens so I'm hoping that it's only the clips that are broken.

Re: Window regulator problem
Unless the vehicle is just out of warranty, the dealership is not going to cover it. There is no recall or offical warranty extention for the window clamps.

Re: Window regulator problem
Does the motor still move or does the glass just not move? It is just the window clips some dealerships might cover it due to the fact it should have been a safety recall but they got away with a loyalty replacement deal. If it is actually the power window motor that is broken they it is going to cost a whole heck of a lot more.

Re: Window regulator problem
If your car is outside of 4yr/80k then unfortunately VW won't pay for it. Dealership rate is 1.6 hours per side so expect to pay about $275 for the update kit intalled.

Re: Window regulator problem
The repair kit which has clips for both windows is around 70 bucks. The labor is at least an hour per side.
I did mine myself and it wasn't too bad - there are good walkthroughs on vortex with pictures of every step. There is one hex bit you need to buy for the door lock which is about 10 bucks, I got mine at nappa.

If it's out of warranty don't count on it.

Window regulator problem
Hey folks, I've done a quick search and figure that my problem is the power window regulator on the drivers side since my window dropped down and now it won't come back up.
I was reading up on this issue in the threads and figured it was a quick fix from the dealerships. My question though, is this a known-issue with mk4 VW's and will it be covered by the dealership even if my car is far out of warranty?
Thx for the help guys.
Cheers!Tags: None
