Right rear window fell into door when powering it down and then back up. Power motor sounds as if it is still working, therefore suspect the mechanical clips holding the window to the power motor must have failed. Research shows that window clips have been a problem for this make and model. In fact, on november 5, 2002 vw.com website was showing a press release explaining that window clips were failing, and vw would…

While driving, i went to crack open my driver side power window. The entire window dropped into the door and broke inside the door. It happened very fast and made a fairly loud noise. When i called my vw dealer, they said that this is happening due to plastic window clips expanding and breaking with excessive heat. I live in the south and it's been very hot. They told me that there is a backorder for the replacement…

This is a known problem by volkswagen. This is the 4th time my window regulator has broken. The last time i spoke with vw and they said they acknowledge there is a problem. The last time my window fell, i was in a parking lot and a "crazy" person came running towards my car yelling the the police were going to get him. As i quickly tried to roll up my window, it broke. I was extremely upset and sped away.*ak

Front passenger's side window has been a constant problem . I have talked to several people who have had their regulators replaced numerous times . This is my third time and each time i 've had to pay to get it fixed. Volkswagen will not admit there is a problem . It's a problem when you have no way of keeping rain out of the car . I have had other probems with this car which i don't have time to write about .*ak

The drivers side window fell into the door and will not come up. Both the dealer and manufacturer were contacted and responded that it is the regulator. It seems that there have been many complaints with the same problem. I was told that volkswagen uses plastic pieces to support the window. Obviously it is a defect in the design, which needs to be fixed, but not at the consumers level.i was told that this is not…
