Need to change out that drivers elec window assembly on my GTI. Have watched a few other videos but appreciate your close-ups of those damn plastic elec. connectors, nice work.
Great video thanks, water coming in , I'll assume based on previous unfortunate vw golf owners its the poor seal on the speaker of back door. Don't worry about it VW, we've changed our second car back to Toyota based on the golf leaking like an old bucket!!
Great video, removed the panel off my Touran which was extraordinarily tight. Replacing afterwards nigh on impossible and still not flush fitting. Any tips?
Richard Short sometimes you ha e to reset the door clips. If you look at the clip, it might look like its pushed in on itself. You have to use a small flat thin screwdriver to get the clips to not be snapped all the way in. Vw’s clips sometimes do that, so when you snap it on, it’s actually not snapping in, because it can’t ( it’s already snapped in on itself). Hopefully this makes sense
Hey Paul Great video, My window wont lower so if I want to just replace the master switch just pry off that vertical handle and pry off switch. I should have to take off the door, right
My name is Raul . And yes you can just try to pry the front of the switch and with a small flat screwdriver push in on each of the tabs, so it will release the switch and pull up and disconnect.
Yes. Have to use a small flat screwdriver from the front. I show how to remove switch on here, but i had pulled panel, but you don’t have to pull panel. Clip in the front has to be push in to pull up from the front.
wartext yes. If you get a plastic tool on the front part of the switch, pry gently alittle, use a small flat screwdriver to push in on each of the two tabs, and the will release the switch in the front. And slowly work it out.
Great video, does anyone knows if the upper leather part from the front door are a detachable piece? The leather of mine are damaged and I want to fix it, but I don't want to change the whole painel. Thank you
Hey Raul, thank you so much for this video! Quick question: my rear passenger window will not roll up or down consistently and I think the glass is poorly seated in its regulator mount. Do you suppose this would require a new regulator? or simply re-seating the windowpane in the existing regulator?
Hi, I am having all sorts of trouble with my VW golf mk6 2010. The rear door doesn't open from the inside and i have tried to take the panel off but it has another plastic panel under it which looks like it has to be removed to get to the door handle cable? I dont know much about cars but i took photos of it! Thank you
Thanks for the video, I own a 2015 golf tdi, this has helped me remove rear door panel, but I’m stuck trying to install a new window regulator, and can’t seem to access it, any idea how to get to it? Thank you
I don’t remove many regulators. But most of them are held on by a few bolts. Usually you have to get the window to go down to unbolt the glass from the regulator. Once you unbolt the glass you have to pull the glass out from where it rolls up and down. Then you unbolt the regulator and then slide it out either from the area where the glass Rauls up and down or through an area that has an opening if possible. Looking at the video and screenshot him a picture of the door. It looks like it has two or three bolts that are holding the regulator in. But you have to get the regulator to roll down the window enough so that you can get to the other clips or bolts that are holding the window to the regulator. There’s usually very small openings or you can fit something to unbolt it or unclip it from the regulator. Hopefully this helps a little bit. I would probably look up how to remove a window regulator from a volkswagon. Maybe something will pop up that gives you a better idea
Thanks for the quick reply, I’ll try lowering the widow, I’ve found a few good videos replacing the regulator but unfortunately they were for previous generations and the design seems like it changed and don’t really apply to the MK7
Is there any chance to repair the rear pannel where the bottom quarter bolt turn, because i brake it and now its not good fixed :( Great video, thank you!
I did remove the panel in this video, but if you take a small screwdriver on the front part of the switch, there are two pieces that you push in and pull up to get switch out, without pulling door panel, but if you don’t push in on the correct spots, you can break the switch
@@raiderman28 thanks Raul, any idea where I can view an image of the clips, so I know where to push with the screwdriver please? I've searched on Google, but not found any images of the front of the surround for a TWO DOOR unit...
Hey Raul romo.great video.i have a water leak coming in the bottom of my rear left passengers door on my Golf 7 2015.from what i have seen on other videos it seem the gasket seal behind the speaker is leaking and from taking off the reflector at the bottom of the door i can see a run stain from the water leading down which goes into the rear footwell of the car and the rubber mat.i dont like messing with things is there any way i could seal it without taking out the spreaker and re reviting it back on.could i get sealer and rub it into the bottom of the speaker from the reflector light hole would that do?look forward to hearing back thanks alan
i have never heard of a water leak where there is no water. so i will assume you mean it leaks when you wash the vehicle or i rains??? does the vehicle have a sunroof?? sometimes the drain hoses get plugged up and water backs up and goes everywhere. as for the seal on the speaker, that is there for acoustic reasons, not for water sealing. you might have a bad door seal (around the door). i would take it to a body shop and have them take a look at it.
@@raiderman28 thanks for replying Raul.i have the car from brand new off the show room floor since 2015 door seals perfect and only been people in the back seat 4 or 5 times.so its never abused or windows uo and down but there is a sunroof as you siad so could this be my problem and how would i clean it properly i had never tought of the drain holes in the sun roof thanks so much again much appricated.

Thank you for showing rear door. I had to do it on my Sportwagen to fix the rear door speaker leak. 👍🏽
Finally someone who also showed the rear door, the top part was really really stuck on mine and wanted to make sure I wouldn't break anything.
NOTAMV glad my video helped you out
Appreciate the video. I was turning the bottom bolts and wondering why they werent releasing!
08:23 - jump to rear door part
Oh man, thank you so much! This is EXACTLY what I needed. Finally got my rear windows working again!
What was wrong with your rear window? Mine doesn't go down and I just purchased the window motor assembly, hoping that's all it is lol
Thank god for this video. Was stuck for ages

Any videos on replacing 2015 vw golf window regulator?
Unfortunately no. I don’t replace regulators often. I tint windows and replace speakers. Thats what i do for a living
to put the rear panels back are a MASSIVE B*TCH! nice video thank for the help! i had to replace my speakers since they sound very bad
Can we remove the main window switch without opening the door panel?
Yes. Have to use a small flat screwdriver from the front. I show how to remove switch on here, but i had pulled panel, but you don’t have to pull panel. Clip in the front has to be push in to pull up from the front.
Thank you
Your welcome
Is it possible to remove the window switch without opening the door panel?
wartext yes. If you get a plastic tool on the front part of the switch, pry gently alittle, use a small flat screwdriver to push in on each of the two tabs, and the will release the switch in the front. And slowly work it out.

Thiago Andreu maybe an Upholstery guy can repair
@@raiderman28 I talked to one, and because he didn't ensure it will look like the original I thinking to buy a used part and change myself.
Hey Raul, thank you so much for this video! Quick question: my rear passenger window will not roll up or down consistently and I think the glass is poorly seated in its regulator mount. Do you suppose this would require a new regulator? or simply re-seating the windowpane in the existing regulator?
Probably new regulator and motor.
Could be part of the regulator or plastics are broken
How many pounds is each rear panel, if you had to take a guess?
5-6 lbs

Kelsey Smith i am not experienced enough from under the panel. I have never removed more than the door panel.

Great video, thank you!
dERiUSTV did you break the bolt part? Or the panel??
@@raiderman28 i brake the panel
Rubber seal arond the window in the door came dislodged and is blocking the window from coming up all the way.
Steven Proktor sometimes that happens and ruins the seal. Probably have to install a new one
is the 10 mm plastic bolt also t27?
I don’t remember. I usually use the 10mm size when i can.
Does this work for a 2015 vw Gti as well? Thanks
Liz Fernando Guevara Nunez if it looks similar than yes it will work
Do you need to remove the door card to replace the power window switches (7.5, 3 door, GTI)?
I did remove the panel in this video, but if you take a small screwdriver on the front part of the switch, there are two pieces that you push in and pull up to get switch out, without pulling door panel, but if you don’t push in on the correct spots, you can break the switch

It’s the speaker seal, it’s a common problem. Google it you’ll find lots of info on it.
Are people having issues with water leak through speaker seals?
mammutpenthouse not that i know of.
Yes on the rear door we had one in the shop today with a water leak
