I swear, you and I have some sort of psychic connection or something; I was just working on my door today to poke at a busted window regulator! LOL I like that hard-backed inner panel/vapor barrier piece. Seems much better than the brittle closed-cell molded foam used in the earlier VWs. Nice sound system, too! Whoever did that install did a REALLY good job! (yes, I do car audio, too...)

I have a 2004 NBC that the passenger side window won't drop when the handle is pulled or roll up when the door is shut. The dome lights and the door panel light do not come on when this door is opened as well. I'm assuming this is related to the micro switch inside the lock module, and will be replacing the module soon. Your video looks like it will be very helpful for me. It appears that unlike the sedan, the NBC inner door panel (stamped steel one) does not have the regulator assembly attached to it? Also, do you know how many turns it takes to loosen the torx screw so that the lock cylinder can be removed? Thanks!

Yes, most likely a lock actuator issue. kzitem.info/news/bejne/xXqBl6WPgqOpqKA To remove the cylinder, loosen the screw a few turns and then push it in.

I thought they were the same, but was told that they are indeed different locks. I ordered a set of passenger and drivers side today, using the correct model number on the parts: SET-REPV469501, from carparts DOT com. I was told they guarantee a fit for a 2005 VW Beetle convertible, 1.8L turbo. Price was incredibly inexpensive, with a year warranty. Worth a try. They should be coming in by the first of February, 2021. Did you find some in the year that has passed?

Hi Bill... I'm used to seeing it on the plastic vapor barriers, this is the first time I've seen it on a newer vehicle. I'm still thinking that someone's been in here before (not just for the speaker)... the main thing is that the new door lock actuator solved the all-too-common non-responsive actuator (when using the remote) issue. :)

Watch this for now... it's an old video (not the greatest): kzitem.info/news/bejne/ra2Cq5mcnHyCo20 I'll get some info for you later. To remove the key cylinder, use a T20 Torx... do not loosen more than 13 turns (unless you have to) to remove the cylinder.
