Rear Window Regulator

[I Audi5K I]

Does any one have a DIY that is not a glue fix or cut the door job. Just an actual DIY of how to replace the right rear window regulator. Any info would help, thanks!

Yea I found that one but like I said I was really looking for one that is not the glue fix. One that actually explains how to replace the rear window regulator. And if you notice in that DIY he cut the door with a dremel

Yeah I'm not sure how to do it with out going that route.. I couldn't view the pictures on my comp at work. I have taken the rear door card off but didn't make note of how everything was attached...sorry I couldn't be of more help, perhaps someone else will chime in soon.

when you take off door panel you'll see this:

take off center plastic panel and motor, not hard but screws are soft so be careful


click on picture and you'll red circles these are the screws that hold window frame inplace, if it doesnt start moving freely i may forgat one. i did it like a year ago i think. once you pull it out CAREFULLY it should look like this

remember that blue pentagon looking thingy position and where cable tubes are and what color, its VERY IMPORTANT they are different colors and length, there will be that blue pentagon looking thingy with white wheel in it, dont worry it has tight tension on it, but once you take it off you'll have alot of cable freed. when you replace it make sure there is no empty track present on that wheel.
here is what broke on mine and how i fixed it


i got nail made a grove in it for cable and placed it like this securing with zipties

after that i filled it with EPOXY FOR PLASTIC on both sides and it worsk like a champ.
Hope that helps, good luck on your project!!
