How many people on here have had broken windows?where they will not roll up or down, Audi said that they upgraded to better tensioner when they fixed em so this problem doesn't happen again. 3 outta my 4 windows broke on me..Is that normal???

Sounds like some other reason. You ever have kids hanging on the windows or anything?

40K. Are you still under warranty, or was it not transferable from the first owner?

Do you have any subs in your car? If you have subs in a ported box, it's known to cause problems with your sunroof and windows because it knocks them off their settings.

Monchichi8, are your windows tinted? I've heard where the 'added weight' of the tint actually contributed to the broken window regulators. I'm sure how much truth is in it though...

Yea, after Igot it tinted I had the problems....It was covered by Audi, but still sorta a stupid problem to have, right?

Not sure if it's PC. but I think we didn't consider the weight of the windws plus the weight of the tint...

The tint doesn't really weigh anything compared to the window. Does the thickness actually add that much to the friction of the window going up and down the track?

Yea, Thats what I thought..not really the weightbut Thickness....My thought was that these car are so tightly put together that the added pressure and drag broke it.
