Seat Altea (XL) frontdoor vindow regulator replacement

[@garethwithers4137]

Thanks for this Michael, I managed to find spare time and attempted this last week, it was alot harder than I expected and with some trial and error but I got there in the end thanks to your video.

[@johnblevins4641]

Thank you very much for both videos. I have a Seat Altea 2007 got it replace thanks to you.

[@tparker18]

Thanks for these two videos was able to sort my Toledo and rebuild the regulator

[@oddf3llow]

Thank you so much for these videos!! I have to do the window regulator on my Altea tomorrow. These two videos have saved me a TON of time!!

Thanks for sharing this. Helped me a great deal. One thing I found when installing the new regulator was the vertical runners were too long to fit into the door. I had to carefully remove the lower bolt holding the rail from the runner nearest to the lock and pull the bottom of the runner sideways so I could get it over the frame of the door. Just about managed to get that in. WIth the other runner I had to remove the bottom and top bolts, move the runner so I could get it into the door. I then put the top bolt in loosely (while holding the runner by putting by fingers through the large circular hole that gives access to the nut that holds the glass and then put the lower bolt in. The most difficult bit was getting the runner lined up with lower bolt hole. To do this I used the cable from the old regulator, wrapped it around the bracket on the front of the runner and pulled it so the runner became in line so I could get the bolt in. Once the bolt was in good and proper (but no tight) I cut the old cable to remove it.

Totally agree, left bottom bolt was nightmare. What I did was that I screwed bottom bolt without side panel on, then tighten the top bolt as much as I could, so rail was aligned, removed bottom bolt, put aside panel on and screwed in bottom bolt. Next time I will just drill bottom hole in doors to larger diameter and put some paint on it, to save my sanity.

They also sell replacement wires for really cheap, but it's very difficult to replace it cause strong springs and then plastic parts can fail and you would have to do it again. Mine was really cheap, Abakus brand, around €25, looks exactly the same.

[@hatzified]

Very nice video. Mounting the panel is very difficult.

[@MichaelKroese]

Yes it is difficult to replace

[@hatzified]

@@MichaelKroese any trick to align the 4 studs with the panel? They have to go inside and not under?

[@MichaelKroese]

@@hatzified you can put the arm in where the speaker is removed and the other hole and grab the shone so you can get the position correctly

[@bigchungus2639]

thanks for the video, got the exact same problem, now I know how.... thanks😀

[@MichaelKroese]

you're welcome

[@JohnDoe-qk4wj]

Tack for hjaelpen exact this Video I need to fix the car

[@slathibatfas]

Are the positions from the motor and regualtor drum important?

[@MichaelKroese]

Yes i think :-)

[@kr7331r]

I ve installed the panel after the całe snapped but even with the new mechanism it goes up with difficulty Changingbthe Glass position left or right doesnt help Any cure for it?

[@tomosevans86]

Same thing with me. Any luck?

[@oldmanronan8473]

I cannot get the window to align properly In the door I don't understand what I'm missing

[@juanf.d.6193]

Gracias Michael.

[@backdraft02]

Great JOB.... Thks

[@paullundgren5159]

Thanks for a Great video, witch brand/manufacture of "lifts" did you buy? was it difficult to find?

[@MichaelKroese]

+Paul Lundgren I bought an orginal from the Danish Seat dealer. It can be done cheaper by buying new cables and wheel uorginalt , which I probably would choose if I had to change again, as uorginalt complete set does not always fit properly

[@Militant7861]

hello michael why did u tape the window to the top after testing it?

[@Militant7861]

i didn't tape it back at the top and remove the regulator it seems to be working fine. i also wonder if you have any idea why my driver side front window is getting stuck. it goes near the top and slows grinding and sometimes will go back down

[@MichaelKroese]

OK, Some prevent the car window to reach the top and it may be the wire or loose slide rails, it sounds like the same problem with my window

[@Militant7861]

+Michael Krøse thank you my friend you've been a real help only video in English i could find.

[@MichaelKroese]

you are welcome

[@Militant7861]

+Michael Krøse sorry can u explain after u put window on regulator and test do you have to loosen the screws on the regulator arms. my passenger side is noisy at the top i didn't loosen the bolts after testing. can u explain what u did after testing it. thanks n sry to disturb u

[@miladyw3811]

Dzięki, przydało się 😊 thank you 😊

[@natka4875]

Witam. Czy należy odłączyć akumulator przed demontażem tapicerki żeby odpinając czujnik poduszki powietrznej nie zgłosił on usterki w systemie poduszek powietrznych, czy wystarczy nie włączać zapłonu przy rozpiętym czujniku ???

[@Daniel_Bratic]

tnx for the video really helped me

[@andreasdegn4266]

Hvilket mærke rudehejs har du købt?

[@MichaelKroese]

Jeg købte originalt, men har repareret en for en ven og nøjes med kablerne fra en engelsk leverandør som havde nogle kabler fra Tyrkiet :-)

[@bjarnepoulsen809]

Hej Michael, super video👍 Efter at have udskiftet rudehejs i venstre dør på min altea, kom der med det samme en besked med en airback-fejl... Har du en ide om hvad det kan være?

[@MichaelKroese]

Bjarne Poulsen Som jeg skriver i videoen så hvis du har haft strøm på bilen mens airbag sensor har været afmonteret så kommer der fejlmelding. Jeg fik min nulstille hos forhandler men vær sikker på den er tilsluttede igen i døren

[@MichaelKroese]

Som jeg skriver i den første video (Seat Altea (XL) frontdoor door panel removal) Hvis du tilslutter strømen når du har afmonteret airbag sensoren i døren, så vil du få fejlmeddelese på din airbag som skal nulstilles hos forhandler for den virker igen.

[@bjarnepoulsen809]

Tak for info
