Window regulator problem

Re: Window regulator problem

I had to drill through the middle of the screw and then pop the top off of it to get the door lock module free. So now I'm -1 door lock screw

Funny I had to do something similar when I went to fix my door lock. Let me know if you find a suitable bolt.

If you don't want an oem bolt go here. http://calgaryfasteners.ca/ might be cheaper.

Ya remove it so one day you don't get pulled over and given a ticket lol So how did you get the striped screw out? BTW I hate torks and the triple squares as they strip to easy.

Re: Window regulator problem

It wasn't the clips that ruined your window - it was you putting the carrier back in. Ask me how I know (both my windows have a little scratch on the tint, even on the one that I discovered already had the new clips AFTER I took it out.) It's tricky to get the damn door lock piece back under the door without touching the inside of the window - it should be in the dang walk through. :(

Thanks Mike

Just finished installing the repair kit and everything works normal again but is there anything that I can do about my tint being ruined on the driver's window There's scratches all over the place from where the window rubbed against the inside of the carrier panel.

You should send an angry letter to vw.

...and they'll add it to the pile of letters from everyone else thats had the same thing happen.

Re: Window regulator problem

I would just do what Geoff said to do and fix it yourself then. Really it is stupid that it is not a recall item. They know it is a problem with them, they always have and it can be a real safety issue if you window drops while you are driving the rogers pass in the middle of the winter.

Really, how can this not be a recall by now? Lucky that mine were replaced under warranty.

Re: Window regulator problem

I bought the repair kit needed, but my only problem is that one of the screws holding in the door lock module is stripped and so the 8mm triple square tool isn't able to grab anything. Any tips on getting out stripped screws

Re: Window regulator problem

George at TuneDub may be able to get it done for less than a dealership.

Re: Window regulator problem

I only charge just under $200, too bad you are down in Calgary now Isaac

Does anybody know if the Calgary dealerships have the repair kit in stock? I might just pick it up myself.
