Today I will show you how to DIY removing a Volkswagen front window glass. This is actually a very common repair at the dealership. You will need to remove the door trim panel before making this repair. This is performed on a MK4 Jetta, other VWs and Audis may be similar

Not sure what year this is but on my Jetta the outside door panel comes off and gives you full access to the window and door lock actuator
at 0.55 it should have two rivets there, Don't need to remove those rivets before remove the carrier panel, it will hard to put it back, I remove the carrier panel with the door lock all at once, first on rear door that fitted with 1/4 window or wagon, you need to remove the short window's rail that fit front of the door lock, then remove the lock bolts and then you can remove the all out a little to easy remove the cable that from the outer handle to the door lock ,then can out at once.some models need to remove outer door handle at once.
after out ,then can remove and install the rivets easy., front door is easy because no window's rail there.Hope this help!
no youtuber show how to remove and reinstall the plastic lock pins ( this one have two pins on the left top corner), the one locking the window penal and the door lock.I think someone can't put it back lask time.
Oh my God thank you for making this quick and painless. That's exactly what I needed thank you again.
What about the rear passenger door window glass, and the quarter glass?
Thank you. Trying to fix my VW window, and with your video, you made that look so easy. Keep up the good work 🙂
Thanks man, trying to replace rear window on my 2012 jetta wagen and was wonder how the F% this was supposed to work.
I think your video helped me realize how I get the new one in AFTER I resecure that inner metal panel secured (I had to remove anyway to get broken glass and the spreader-plug thing,. And then I should have access to lock the fastener,.
How do you remove the outside window trim
Great Video. I've been looking for video on how to remove the rear door window on a 2009 VW CC. I need to replace the door lock
Damn frost made my window pull away from the track however it is sitting in the track now hopefully those to screws just need to be snugged up so it operates like before
Thanks so much!
Aaron kaufman???????????
Thanks. You made that look so easy. Now confident enough to replace my driver's glass on my 2006 VW T5 Transporter.
My GTI, mk6 doesn’t have an outer door panel. How would I get to the latch on that type of door?
Will that work the same on an Amarok? Thanks.
Best of the Best
You're the best! Now I can use my factory tint windows from my totaled 2001 on my 2004 GLS that came with orange peel self tint! This is why we're paid subscribers to your site 😀
This was a game changer for me. I blew out the original beetle window on mine and had no idea how to get the new one in. It wasn't quite as easy as you showed but we got her done.
Does anyone know if this is the same procedure for a Mk6 JSW??? Thanks
It is sooo much easier on a MK5. I wish they still had removable door skins.
