Altogether, these power windows are designed to fail,
to help support VW's financial reports...
Those plastic tracks are a piece of sh%&$t and erode
quickly. Why couldn't they put a decent pully? That's
what my window specialist welded instead of them when
they failed, giving me a much longer life now.
Also, there's a small plastic rivet holding the frame
that breaks easily and then they tell you the motor is
dead (while actually the steel cable has sprung free
and tangled inside the pully and blocking the motor).
A costly diagnosis mistake. I fixed it myself and
saved $200...
