DIY Skoda Octavia MK2 Power Window Regulator Replacement

[@mihaibuzdugan520]

Thank you so much for the video! Brilliant video Replaced my window regulator and it works straight away Just a little mention for the future guys that are trying to do it, instead of rivets, you can use short metal screws, next to the rivets holes. God bless you man!

what size screws did you use please? I'm in the middle of doing it and am at the rivet stage

[@abnormaalz]

For anyone attempting this, please dont use the glued nuts method! I've tried this and the nuts come undone with very little torque. Use nut rivets instead. You dont even need a special tool for this, you can use a bolt, a few washers and a nut to pop the nut rivet.

Hi. You done a good job. I am having issues finding the right size rivets. What is the size of the rivets have you used please?

[@TheDIYWorkshop2020]

We used M10 but I recommend M12 like the originals. The problem with the M12 is that you will need a bigger gun than the usual one

Good knowledge! Thank you very much for sharing :-) Greetings from Australia

[@TheDIYWorkshop2020]

Thanks for watching!

[@chrisd2415]

Excellent video, can you tell me what size rivets you used thank you from the UK

[@TheDIYWorkshop2020]

I don't really recall but they were the smaller ones. That's why we used metal washers too. If you are to use rivets, try the big ones because the holes are quite large. People from UK are the best DIYers (don't mind getting their hands dirty) and nr.1 viewers on my channel. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment!

For the first time my passanger window makes a strange noise when i close and sometimes doesnt move at all.Its also the window regulator needs replacement?

[@TheDIYWorkshop2020]

Most likely. On these Skodas it's just a matter of time untill they stop working.

[@MANMAN-100]

Salut,super ok niturile de unde le-ai luat și ce mărime sânt

[@TheDIYWorkshop2020]

M10 am folosit noi dar originalele sunt m12. Pentru M12 ai nevoie de un pistol mai mare decat cel obisnuit

[@MANMAN-100]

Da, mulțumesc tare mult.

[@RottiDog100]

Im finding getting the little plastic dowels in a real pain in the arse, any advice?

[@TheDIYWorkshop2020]

Just use a screw and a small hammer

[@TheDIYWorkshop2020]

Don't forget to grease them for an easy slide

[@michaelkither2620]

The way is to remove the door glass by tilting the front down then withdrawing vertically...now fit the pins on a work bench and check you have equal amount of pin on each side of the glass..put a smear of grease on the pins then reinsert the glass to the aperture...with the glass in the closed position wind the mechanism up to meet the glass and the clamps will expand open to allow the pins to click into their locations and the glass will be attached..hope this helps

[@jboland1192]

neither skoda nor VW have my part 3T0837462A in stock in the UK (drivers UK side front) they want £GBP160 and £GBP 140 to fit, ive bought TWO off ebay for £70 and two used motors (just in case)

[@jboland1192]

any ideas if a 2013 superb plate is bolted in or riveted?

[@TheDIYWorkshop2020]

I am afraid not. There is only one way to find out. The problem is you will need a biger pop rivet gun than standard ones if you want to use rivets again. We used a standard pop rivet gun and placed metal washers on the other side so that the small rivets we used could pop. If none of the above are an option you can use bolts and nuts glued to the inner side.

That music is annoying but thank you

[@TheDIYWorkshop2020]

Yes, sorry for that. For the latest videos I completely changed the format of the tutorials. Unfortunately, I don't have the projects, so I can t reedit the old tutorials. Thank you for your comment.
