  • Great video saved me about 400 bucks. Thank you for making it.

  • Thank you so much for making this video. There were things that you mentioned that we never would have known about. Of course there is a "special tool" ... there always is. Our special tool was "gentle" persuasion with a little bit of brute force thrown in.

  • Thanks a lot!!!! I fixed my window!!!

  • You saved me from going crazy!! I was more than frustrated at the TIGHT cables. Luckily, I found your video before I broke a pulley. Good call on leaving the ferrule (green thingy) out until last. It was still a TIGHT fit, but the window is currently working, just before our 25 degrees & snow hits! I was ready to cut 2 turns off each spring, since they were fully compressed, and I needed about 3/16" more to make it work. I know the cables will stretch, but... DANG! Thanks again! Cheers.

  • You sound like Mr. Rogers. Awesome!

  • This in addition to another video posted by another user sure helped me. I'm no mechanic and i couldn't have done it without these videos.

  • Hey, I'm having a really tough time geting the regulator kit! Where did you get it from?? Local parts stores dont have anything, and cant even order it...what should I do?

  • couple questions: is it usually the regulator? my passenger side window is struggling to open/close and im trying to prepare for this situation.....also, is there a difference between the passenger and driver side regulator?

  • Save me exactly 10,000$. Ty.

  • i have a 2001 beetle its a gl model so it has crank windows, is it the same procedure to remove the door panel??

  • any ideas on how to take the panel off if I don't have an electric window? Mine is manual

  • Great video!! immensely helpful!! if working with computers doesn't work out for you, the automobile industry is awaiting your expertise!
