I believe VW have a repair kit which replaces the original plastic clips with metal clips. Check with Solitaire I guess or another VW outlet in your area (sorry not from SA), about $120 from memory I think?

Repair Kit

Hi, I bought a repair kit from VW just a week or two ago and it was $115.

It has the metal clips that replace the crappy plastic ones as well as the cable and spool.

Is it worth doing this proactively on a 2003 Bora V6 4Motion? I park my car in the open all day, I don't fancy having my windows left wound down all day if the plastic clips break...

[qsilverza]

Yes i would do it proactively.

If only the barstards at VW made a repair kit for mk3's...

I'd suggest as the mk4's become 10-15 yrs old all the plastic crap will definitely go. It'd be a very good selling point (if needs be) to have metal window parts

do all Mk4's have the plastic ones? how do you tell?

You will hear an awful sound and the window won't go back up
