Electric Window Driver Door

Hello everyone,

Currently, I'm having another issue with the car. Last August, the power window was replaced with a partial warranty. Now, the window isn't closing completely (due to the anti-pinch protection). It's probably something with the mechanics that's misaligned. Is there anything that can be done about it without having to spend hundreds of euros at the workshop?

Hello.
Yes, you can do something yourself there, but it's not that easy.
- Remove the interior lining.
- Remove the two large rubber sleeves.
- Lower the window until you see the plastic parts with the screws.
- Loosen the screw and remove the washer from above.
- Remove all cable holders from the metal part.
- Now, loosen approximately 10-15 screws from the metal part.
- You can now carefully remove the metal part.
- The mechanism is housed on the back of the metal part.
I also had a problem with the windshield; a plastic part broke off, and the windshield came loose and fell down.
VW wanted 80 Euros for it, without installation (which is great), and they sell you the entire metal part. I've now wedged a few wooden blocks underneath to keep the window in place from above. What's the point of power windows anyway?
I do have a climate.

Working at a company with a gate in front of the parking lot can be tricky – you need a key, and it's quite a hassle if you can't lower the window.

It seems like the mechanism of the disc is somehow stiff or difficult to operate. I was hoping this was a common problem with a relatively simple solution (since it's happened to me for the second time).
