Thanks for this brilliant tutorial, it was invaluable, couldn't have done it without it. I replaced the whole regulator as I didn't fancy fitting a new cable and it wasn't too expensive for the whole new part. I found the trickiest part was removing the parts that hold the glass in place. If you're replacing the whole regulator as I did, it was very easy to run a hacksaw blade where the glass is held (flush to glass on outside) and cut off the plastic that goes through the hole. I was a bit worried I'd break the glass when pushing the clip but if you just saw through it then you can't really break the glass.
Many thanks for this excellent guide. Whilst I dont own the same car as you there were alot of similarities which helped me when undertaking this task. Thanks again!
Thanks for this tutorial. I have a 2013 Superb, it's slightly different and I've got to admit I found replacing the mechanism bloody frustrating. Watching you helped quite a bit but I still ended up with bruised and cut hands.
If you remove the small grab handle cover (just pops out) then you can lever out the window switches from underneath - with no fear of damaging any trim - Otherwise, great!
Hi, it was very difficult to show this on video since the parts are difficult to film whilst working on them. I describe the technique that I used at 09:30. It involves using 2 screwdrivers to lever the glass upwards whilst pushing in the part of the plastic clip that protrudes through the round hole in the glass. There are 2 of these, one on each of the vertical metal guide rails. The glass then slides up and it can be removed from the window opening whilst the cable/mechanism is changed. At the end of the job the glass just slides back down and needs to be pushed back into the 2 plastic brackets. I hope that helps.
Thanks for that. This is one of the best How To step by step guides on UA-cam. 👍
Cheers mate your video helped me fix my window problem
Thanks for this. I was lucky enough to get a secondhand regulator but this video was a big help, esp with getting pins out of glass
