Stuck electrical window on driver side front.

[cc0]

So the other day I was driving home, rolled down the window and heard a crunching sound. The window would not come up again. I called the repair shop to get an estimate on fixing it, 400£ (or 4000NOK). Jeez... is this something that can typically be fixed by a newbie (i.e. me), and will it normally require purchasing a part?

A regulator repair kit is required by the sounds of it but yeh, you should manage it yourself, I'm sure there's a how to on here somewhere. If nothing else search for the one on leaky doors as it'll show you how to get most of the door apart. There's also youtube vids, it'll probably be easier finding one for the Mk4 golf but they're both the same.

They are NOT the same. I made that mistake when I had a regulator go on mine. I paid about £70 for mine from eBay, but make sure you get a Leon/Toledo one!
Its not difficult to fit, follow the door seal guide, then once you have the panel off, it will be obvious how to do the rest.
