Sounds like mine. The regulator (cable guided track) has likely broken away
where it attaches to the window. Not a cheap item and dealer only for new
ones. You might find a used one from a list member for cheaper than the $165
(cheapest I could find locally) my dealer charged me. BTW, what's up with
the wide differences in VW dealer prices?!

Subject: window dropped

Hello All :

Problem........
Raised the power window on the drivers side of my 1990 Westy. I heard
something go clunk inside the door, the window stopped about 2 inches from
the top.
I lowered the window with the window switch then tried to raise it up and
SHAZAM the window fell to the bottom...
It will not operate at all now, however the motor will run when I operate
the switch.  What is the problem and what should  look for. I know I have to
take off the door panel off are there any secrets I should
know................
send help
thank you for the list..... :-)
Regards.
