Well that turned out to more difficult and expensive than ex

Passenger front window has never worked, and I wasnt that bothered. But it was becoming a bit of a pain on our very regular trips to France. Then the door stopped locking and unlocking, so I needed to remove the regulator anyway.

i used the "easier" method of removing the glass. I removed outer window trim and inner, then door card etc etc. as per the guide on here.

First problem was getting the outer door handle off, which I broke so ordered a new one.

Then removing the regulator was easier than expected, as ALL the clips were broken-the two screwed onto the bottom of the glass and the 2 on the regulator. All the wores were dangling in the door!

This is what greeted me when the regulator was removed:





What the hell is that about? A plank of wood on the inside edge. I assume to keep the knackered window in the up position. Why not just replace it if you have gone to all the trouble of removing everything?

So now I had to use a new glass as well!

Anyway, long story short, its done, but took 4 days lol.

I cant thank the gents on here enough for the help-I would have been able to do it without you Thumbs Up

Ill order a replacement later when the shops are open.

Hi

Great u got it all done, was also surprised that front glass wasn’t that expensive

Also at least we know that the clips can be bought on there own, those ones from Germany certainally looked the same

Still can’t get over that piece of wood

Good result Thumbs Up

Ps, link for the clips in case it helps anyone
