You saved me 800$ for a window regulator repair, thanks so much!

[@raiderman28]

Glad it helped

[@RPS13959]

Loved that you just got straight to the point, nothing more annoying having to fast forward to get things started

[@midiwall2]

Excellent video, well shot and narrated. Thank you!

[@raiderman28]

Thank you for the kind words. i am trying to get people to subscribe to my channel (its free), before youtube decides to stop monetizing it because of lack of subscribers and watch times. i make a few bucks off the channel every few months, which helps with costs of making videos, editing etc. i am at about 879 subscribers and need to get to 1000 before the end of Feb. If you could subscribe and spread the word, that would be awesome. have a blessed day. Just made a how to make great salsa video, you should check it out. also making a how to make great ceviche video very soon !!

[@Sam-zr3sz]

Really appreciate your video. I was the most comprehensive, including the small clip that jumped off, that allowed me to correct the fit of the door panels on my son's Jetta after we got it back from the body shop. Mine was the driver's side and I needed to fix the mirror switch as well. Never would have gotten through the process without your guidance.

[@raiderman28]

Glad it helped you out

[@jdiv95jd]

Thanks for step by step and putting the camera in those hard to see areas extremely helpful

[@kayladenbow2363]

Thank you so much for posting this. My door stopped opening from the outside at about 7. I went to the store and bought the tools i needed. It's 9 and my door is already fixed .

[@JasonKraft-me5lw]

Thanks for video - very easy to follow and replicate. Made a speaker replacement a snap.

[@RocketsharK7]

This really helped. Probably would not have been successful without this video. I had to replace drivers side mirror.

[@raiderman28]

Daniel Barker glad it worked

Thanks for the video, just replaced the driver's side glass on my 2017 Jetta after a break in. This video made it a breeze.

im a mid tech. bodyman and this door panel was driving me nuts. i couldnt figure out how to access the torque in the middle of the panel and all data wasnt helping. pointing out that false panel helped me alot. good video. thanks man.

[@RidinSolo92]

Great vid. Haven't torn mine apart yet but it's nice to have an idea before you go in

[@TheSchloshPosh]

Easy!! Thank you for this video man. There’s a bracket at the bottom in the middle. I thought it was one of the brackets that pop out and stay on the door… IT IS NOT lol I broke it off. It’s actually the spot where you screw the bottom panel screw in so leave it in the door!! Lol

[@aaronwagner6554]

Literally doing this now, wish me luck

[@mogomo4616]

Thanks Raul you video helps alot, I followed and I replaced my side mirror, thanks again!

[@raiderman28]

Mo Gomo if you cab subscribe to my KZbin channel it will help me out (its free). I make a few dollars a month in order to make these videos. KZbin is going to stop paying us unless i get up to 1000 subscribers by the end of feb. And get more view times. I am at almost 900. If you can subscribe that would be appreciated. I also have new videos out, how to make mexican salsa and how to make ceviche.

[@johnalba6843]

Thank gosh for you and KZbin. I would have broke something if I didn't watch this first

[@raiderman28]

Glad it worked out

[@kobywan_kenobi]

Thank you. This was super helpful. Only two of the screws didn't make it back in.

[@raiderman28]

Lol 😝

[@jeffro4kag206]

Thanks for the video. I have to put on a rt rear door on 14 jetta and this helped, although I broke the frt door inner blk handle clip popping the panel off for tear down. Darn. Looks like I have to replace the cable now. Now I find your video for the handles!

[@raiderman28]

Jeffro sorry, i don’t have videos on cables.

[@HumanLikeMan]

Great video, just trying to muster the courage since my back speaker is blown and needs to be replaced. The back uses part number 5C6-035-710-B and looks a bit different, what else sets these apart from the front, other than looks.

[@raiderman28]

Roger Popek not sure i have not replaced speakers in those vehicles.

[@jort75]

Thanks guy. Great video. My VW Jetta fogs up SO BAD. I thought I had a leak in the door speaker. Turns out not. VW must have just had a bad design on the defrost vents. Did yours fog up like crazy?

[@raiderman28]

This was a customers car. Make sure you don’t have a heater core leak. Check the floors on passenger and driver’s to see if the are wet or smell like antifreeze

[@ES-hr6vg]

I’m about to dive in. Wish me luck!

[@GTORT]

Was hoping taking off the door panel would give me full window access. Think it's from people slamming my door but I can push the window down and it won't roll all the way up. It stops at about an inch from the top and it sounds like the motor disengages after that. Then as I'm driving the window will slowly fall down, then I have to get out and physically push it down, just so I can roll it back up almost to the top. Hope that all made sense. Suggestions?

[@raiderman28]

GhettoTorture replace the regulator and motor

[@raiderman28]

GhettoTorture sometimes the cable breaks internally or the the gears get stripped.

[@GTORT]

Raul Romo FUCK! So the motor, regulator, cable, and gears? Is there a Best case scenario? Hahahahaha

tinting a Jetta is a pain in the ass I did my Jetta without taking off the panel Next time I’ll take the panels off

[@raiderman28]

Cuban Link 2010 i use to do them that way and they were a pain. It’s a pain to take off the panels , but installing tint much easier

[@Unternehman]

It's that easy thank you

[@TheSleeperism]

Thanks man that sure be ripping the door off and getting a new door, lol - some odd reason when I slammed my driver door, the door handle got disengaged 😡

[@raiderman28]

Fork Spoon thats so werid hat happened

[@julieivy4655]

Dude!! SAME!! I'm actually having to replace the cable. The original snapped when I slammed the driver door one morning 😬😬🤦‍♀️ But the door lock actuator on these have a tendency to fail..... Cheap plastic crap- just like the ignition. Only question is When, not if, cuz it's gonna happen at some point

[@Flumphinator]

Someone pushed in the body fillet on my rear passenger door. If I pull off the door panel, can I access the body from the inside and lightly push it back out or is there no access?

[@raiderman28]

Cesotoseot you can try. You will probably have to remove the plastic liner. You might have some access, not full access, because of the window regulator and motor

[@triariicat8448]

what if there is broken glass in the door, can i take the speaker out and put a vacuum hose through the hole to get to the broken glass?

[@raiderman28]

Triarii Cat probably can. I am not sure if those speakers are riveted in.

[@richardmcelligott9204]

On my European Jetta 2013 there's a bolt in the middle behind the panel I couldn't get to

[@jorgedejesuscastillogarcia6750]

Good job man

[@titantenacity6107]

are the speaker sizes 5.25 inches? i opened one door and it appeared to be so and i didnt open the back but they seem very similar and the part numbers for a “new speaker” are practically interchangeable

[@raiderman28]

I checked on www.metraonline.com and it shows 6.5” on the front and rears not 5.25”

[@romanhaduniak9060]

I need to replace the drivers side window switch. Is it as easy as popping up the panel like on the passenger side?

[@raiderman28]

Roman Haduniak i believe it is similar. Once you get the switch panel off, with a small screwdriver you can remove window switch from window switch panel ( if it looks similar)

[@jorgevazquez506]

Thank you so much

[@tosocinar]

Thank you for the video! I am a bit late to this, but do you if it is possible to access the outer shell of sheet metal on the rear door by removing the plastic panel? Some as***** left s big dent on my door and I was considering trying to push it out by removing the panel and pushing from the inside

[@raiderman28]

I am not sure, it is probably best to contact a dent removals guy. They have special tools to take dents out.

[@curtiscupach8383]

Slam the door really hard. It seems to be a common issue, you can drop by the VW forums to learn more, but if I recall correctly, there is a spring that gets caught occasionally as it gets weaker. A good slam might grant it freedom.

[@roberthaasz5987]

Thank you!

[@TheMriceman24]

My door won't open

[@raiderman28]

If it won’t open from the inside or outside, it will be super tough to get to the inside of the door. You will have to remove the front seats and take them out through the other door, then try to remove the panel. This is pretty difficult, because it is hard to grab the panel to pull off. If you can manage to remove the panel ( which i have done on other vehicles, not jetta’s) then your half way there. If you can get it off, then you can see if something has broken or come off. Usually a clip on the rod that opens the door or the cable or clip on the locking side has issues

[@otishill1541]

Thanks, it helped

[@Unternehman]

What size are their speakers?

[@raiderman28]

they are 6 1/2" but they might be rivited in. some of the jetta's are i can't remember if this one was

[@Unternehman]

@raiderman28 just got the kit from coutchfield, RF Prime r165-s x4. Going to install this weekend. The adapter kits are free with purchase.installing the tweeters are going to be dumb...

[@raiderman28]

@@Unternehman yeah tweeters are not straightforward like most speakers. Sometimes you have to glue them in place. Also if they are components. You will have to find a place to put the crossover and run a new wire from that to the speaker and tweeter. Factory wire goes into the crossover and then crossover to mid and to tweeter.

[@38116030]

que cosa no sabes jaja

[@pipuchon]

Que tal Jorge, tengo un GLI 2016 que también produce ruidos al pasar por pavimento no uniforme o al dar algunas vueltas pronunciadas, es como un choque de plásticos, he intentado lubricar los plásticos de la puerta y también desarmar el panel sin éxito, en la agencia no lo arreglan y considero que es mas un tema de diseño que de ensamble, el ruido proviene de la puerta trasera derecha y muchas personas que conozco tienen el mismo problema con alguna de las puertas, lo corregí un poco usando grafito entre los plásticos, espero te sirva.

Thanks for your video Raul, my english is not very good but let me ask u something, my right rear door (the same that you remove make some noise in hot days or when I cross some bad roads, is there any way to remove that kind of sound? I have tried plenty thing including remove the panel and every single time sound like squeak between plastics by the way I have a GLI 2015. Thanks a lot.

[@raiderman28]

it could be the guide at the door jam (the black thing). try spraying WD40 or adding grease to it). your car doesnt have an actual door lock rod, so it can't be that. the only other thing, could be the frame of the window or window motor being loose. take off panel and remove bolts and retighten them.
