Window problem - Help please!

[DUB 20V]

Yeah it's piss-poor really, when it's a well known documented manufacturing deficiency. The swap to metal clips in the repair kits basically confirm VW's acknowledgement of the problem, in fact in the US I think VW replace them as needed when they fail.

Pretty sure it's the earlier Mk4's that suffer from this and the last couple of years of the MK4 model had the metal clips from the factory, again confirmation that the plastic wasn't up to the job.

Another problem that happens rather too frequently on our cars is the infamous clutch pedal collapse/breakage.

sweet hope my late model has the metal clips

I know those dealers are a joke. Fortunately Golf_Loon is going to help me out for a fraction of the price the dealers wanted.

Same as the MAF problem i had earlier, they acknowledged they were dodgy and failed and extended the warranty or something on these. I got mine replaced for half retail with exchange.

Shhhh about the clutch pedal. You will jinx me man
