Electric Window Stuck Open - Tips To Diagnose & How To Fix

[@yourmanwiththe]

Just happened to my Fabia MK3, thankfully found this video so beyond my scope of work. Thanks for the video

[@jeffjeffjeff2]

Gret video as usual. I really do enjoy the detail, simplicity and clear instructions of your channel. I'm hoping my Superb doesn't have to have the same fix as one window has been noticably slower the others to go up and down since the recent cold weather/ice.

[@JohnnysSpeedShop]

That's a lot of rivets there, we don't have skodas here but I worked on some when I lived In Ireland ( the old box shaped ones ) I remember those Peugeot 205s you know the ones from the late 90s had the same setup as these or maybe is was the citrons can't remember....used to just chisel them off but not on that skoda...too many curves in that inner panel, I hope you have a pneumatic rivet gun... sweet repair mate.... keep them coming.

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Thanks Johnny, yes I have my air rivet gun, best of luck doing these with a standard hand held one :) would be torture

[@chrisanderson8578]

Useful video thanks!. Mine just broke. Window stopped half way

[@jeffreyowen5926]

Thank you very much .i jave a Skoder Superb with an identical problem .so now i will have ago at it thanks to your video. Jeff OWENSOUTH WALES UK "TAFF" .

Easy way for refitting plastic peg to regulator is fit them back in glass first and then line up with regulator bang top of glass with your hand and they snap in to place

[@samneetsingh6971]

Thank you So much for easy explanation...

[@gordonharper2869]

Excellent video, my car has the same problem.

[@jedgr]

Thanks, I will try to fix Seat Ibiza 6j (not the same mechanism...)

[@patricahyslop3270]

will the new wires fit the old runners ,without buying a complete unit

[@MrAmericanbeauty]

Any ideas why my 09 octavia drivers window opens back half way after ive closed it, cant get it to stay shut, cheers

[@jasonmorley7889]

I’ve replaced my window reg but my window keeps slipping out of the holders on the regulator. Do you know how can I tighten them?

[@richy3125]

What size drill bit do you need?? What size pop rivets do you need??

[@bmw-e30]

Window regulators seem to be a common weakness on VW's. The pop rivets make it even more awkward.

[@Chipchase780]

I thought the disassembly was complex enough before we got to the rivets. No chance. I’ll just leave the goddamn window shut. I live in Manchester anyway.

[@jackhutchens]

Hi, you say if the window moves you don’t have to drill out the pop rivets? Thanks

[@brianbarnes8162]

Would you reckon it's the same for 131 superb ? Is it too much hassle to do with just a manual pop rivet tool in your experience? Cheers .

[@kjttv1747]

Hi i changed both of my 131 superb regulator in the last month .used a 100 mm wood screw to withdraw inner plastic clip from glass and length of wire with hook on the end for the larger outer one. Guess what..my wife's Octavia driver regulator has just gone...that's why I'm here.

[@Philunited]

Did u Pop rivet the reg onto the panel before you fitted it again??

[@mk3caddy100]

had to do the same sort of thing to my 2001 golf

[@chalkchalk2283]

exectly the same sound dude!

[@cjfeather]

Why are electric windows not designed so you can attach a handle behind the cover and easily manually wind them up and down, like if they stop working just attach a handle and wind them up and down until it gets fixed… My windows sometimes stop working so afraid to use them now in case they go down and not come back up…..

[@ianandrews1511]

How would they be able to charge extortionate prices for replacement parts if they did this. Plus, a damaged mechanism is still damaged so extra chance of damaging the glass when winding down manually

[@emmanueliniewe7052]

Please I have a window problem, my four windows are not winding down again please what do I do.

[@gabrieldillon11]

Pop rivets used? FFS that's an awful faff but thanks for the info. Thought it was easier.

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

🙏

[@malcolmyoung7866]

Ha, First......probably because I left the bar early....the things I do for greatness....

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

At least you were at the bar :)

[@mohammdarafat6294]

Whats the rivets size please?

[@paulclifford4469]

Not a nice job. ive done a few. vag dont make it easy. question for you. ive a 08 mondeo saloon and ive replaced one of the door locks several times and my problem persists. sometimes it opens sometimes it doesnt via the push button key. very annoying. i went to our resident genius here and he thinks its electrical issue related to a box located above the glove compartment. ive no reason to doubt him. have you ever come across this?

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Hello Paul, While I have not come across that in a Mondeo the rules remain pretty similar on systems, check manually that all cables and slide clips move freely, once that is over check voltage at door module, if you have a scan tool with this feature it can be much easier by checking it as you press lock/unlock on the key fob etc.. Could be a control unit or a wiring issue in the loom of the door (all guesses) like anything it would require deeper investigation to have an answer for you.

[@maxmiddleton2032]

What rivers are they?

[@richardsandwell2285]

And all because people got too lazy to wind a window down manually, what a totally epic project, if they cannot make things reliable or quick and easy to repair, carmakers should return to using manual winding gear on car windows, it is much better for the environment too.

[@JamesGadbury]

Agree entirely. I'm sure this has been designed to be easily assembled on the production line with no regard to reliability or repair.

[@Realdannybenson]

Fug that for a game of soldiers!

[@اسامهكلاري]

Ok

[@cromagify]

Completely wrong dude...
