Awsome, lol! I work for a dealer and have done many of these. A little tip, take the carrier out of the door with the latch assy and harness, much easier. And once you learn how the bowden cable and handle come out, these are a snap! About 30 minutes. Thumbs up for going out and doing this repair yourself.
I knew I wasn't crazy when I told my wife that companies always put extra pieces into their products that serve no purpose. I only worry when I have more then 5 bolts/screw/nuts left over, under that we're golden!!! ;)
Yay! You made something that sucks into funny & entertaining & actually helpful as opposed to others who seem to try & emulate college professor-like thinking & annoy me. Kudos!
Women working on cars makes me all tingly...you are awesome wendy and yeah that job is a bitch the first time around..good job tho...save those extra parts and when you do the job again which I am sure you will you can put them back...
@sweetwilliam61841 - But don't do what I do which is put them in a bag/tupper wear/box and forget to label them. I have countless number of bolts, screws and nuts which for the life of me have no clue where they came from because I wasn't smart enough to label them.
Hi my beetle is the same year, same colour and funnily enough I'm replacing the same parts on the same door! Thanks for the great help I have everything dismantled ready for the replacement parts but I would really like to know where you got you kit from?? I'm struggling to find the kit you got? Thanks :) Great vid
Hey thanks sklarm, you inspired me to give it a whack, so I did but but "Bang" a Double Whammy, When I took my door apart I found that the motor's casing cracked open which ripped apart the regulator as well, good thing I had no screw issues, and yes it can be a head ache if you do not have the right tools for the job, it makes life easier, well its together, works great, no screws or parts left over. Yay! Kisses :o)
oh and forget taping the glass, just lift up glass out of regulator and rotate pulls right out. and don't over tighten clamps.

@MrWmc04 If you are out of warranty (6 years or more after vehicle manufacture) then consider saving this repair and save yourself $600.

Surely you stripped it all apart again and put in the "infamous extra parts" right?
Kudos... most folks would have just put them in the secret coffee can of "spare" parts and not said a word...
Peace
