Calling MK3 Boffins - Electric Window Fun

Pack it out with some syrofoam or rags or similar.... driving vibration may damage it if its resting on the glass.

The 'sinker type thing' is a stopper, see http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...n-img_0378-jpg of this thread photos, in this photo its the blue & green plastic bit near the green roller. It locks into the black frame here as there is a recess it slides into.

The infamous 'window jump' = the window clamps may be loose ( the rubbered bits that clamp the glass in) - hope its this as its easy fix. Alt the motor wire is jumping around in the motor spooler drum. see photos on page 1.

I made sure it would not be resting on the glass, the bolt acts as a stop for the clamp, the clamp rests on top of the bolt.

My stopper is still in the metal slide and works fine up and down, I need to somehow get it into the window clamp, but I think the window clamp is broken and no longer holds the stopper.

Hopefully I do just need to tighten up the clamp, can't really live without being able to open the driver's side window...

This part is broken on my rear window, do all windows use the same "window claw"?
I thought I might see if I can get one from the wreckers.
Also, how do I go about getting it to pop back in?

Not exactly sure but does this help?

VWVortex.com - window regulator diy

Have done this to one of mine, so have a lot of others

Cheers, I actually didn't think to remove the window claw from the window before removing the regulator assembly...
i will make sure to do that and attach the window claw like the DIY.
