2008-2016 VW Eos Window Regulator Repair & Replacement. Driver

[@michaelconfoy2862]

Hi, hope you are still checking for comments. I got the top star screw off easy. Now the bottom two screws are up in a recessed area and there is no way I can get the star screw end up there on a drill so I grabbed my torque screw driver. Even that won't get it flush on there and instead of unscrewing, no matter how hard I pushed in, the screw started to strip instead. How does a mechanic actually do it? Thanks.

Send me a pic so I can see what you are referring to.

On the gear on the motor ,do you put anything like grease on it? or is it supposed to be dry?

[@PowerUpAuto]

Fine as it is

Is the 2007 vw eos passenger regulator compatible with the 2010

[@WildHorseSpirit1]

Thanks so much ! Where did you get the regulator piece from (link)? My window made louder noises when I closed the door then it just stopped working properly. It made loud noises, would go all the way down first before going back up so I think my motor is fine since it’s getting the power but just the regulator is broken. Correct me if you think I’m wrong

Available from a VW dealer near you.

Thank you for this, I already had it all apart but haven't pulled the regulator yet. I will have the new one today for $330!!! Part the reason I watched this is there is a little proximity sensor just below the mirror that was just floating around and someone had siliconed it on but I am unsure of exactly where it is supposed to go. I believe you called it the security sensor. Also I was able to pull the entire panel off, there is a white tab on the latch assembly that slides out but it is tricky.

[@CoreysCave]

I found what the little sensor was, it's just the light for the alarm. It had so much silicone on it the red LED was covered.

[@PowerUpAuto]

Right on!

I have that same 1/16 inch problem where the window doesn't go all the way up and I can get water in the car during a car wash. Is it I simple adjustment with the window not sitting up enough before screwing the bolt?

[@PowerUpAuto]

Easy would be to loosen the bolts for the clips on the glass and just raise the glass a bit.

[@sheepofwater]

@@PowerUpAuto Thank you. I long suspected that was the solution but didn't feel like removing the panel again when I replaced my window regulator. Now that I know, I'll likely do that.

Hi . Thank you for the video. I've done it and all work but my airbag lights still on how to clear it?

[@PowerUpAuto]

Don't unplug the airbag when you do this. You should be able to buy a reset tool on line to reset the airbags. If that does not work off to the VW dealer.

[@markbombek950]

The guy on the video took the regulator out so fast and put the other ones so fast I didn't even know what I look like I wanted to see him hold it up in the air for at least 15 seconds or so so I can see what a regular looks like but he shoved it in there so fast I couldn't tell what it look like why couldn't he just held it up so we could see it instead of slamming it in there so fast this video sucks

[@PowerUpAuto]

Just try a web search for EOS window regulator. Lots of Pics.

[@robertries7774]

Taking off the inside panel first would have made this much easier. Your just lazy and want to work harder.

[@PowerUpAuto]

Taking off the inside panel involves removing the outer handle and the latch, both labor intensive. Also for the latch you would need a set of triple tap to remove the bolts. This is an easier method and works just swell.

[@robertries7774]

@@PowerUpAuto I've never had to remove the handle or latch assy.
