Just done this. Useful video. For me, the hardest bit was getting that plastic clip thing that slides into the door lock mechanism back in place. I had to punch out the two plastic 'rivet' centres attaching the clip to the panel, fit the clip into the door lock mech, and then re-fit the plastic 'rivet centres'. They seemed to want to go in from the rear, but that's impossible of course, so I ended up fitting them from the front side, but had to file them down before they would go in, and even then it was a struggle.

Just done one of these today, mangled the cable with it when the clips broke. Replaced with the all metal upgrade. There was a bit of a 'clunk' on lowering the glass like it was catching something, maybe the wiring loom to the door lock. Fiddled around with things a bit and it went quiet. No mention of how to route the cables here or the need to lube them so they don't corrode and fail a year later (wet british weather and all). Been there, NOT done that before!

Are the cables themselves not stainless steel on these? Id give the regulator and cables a quick spray with some silicone spray to keep them lubricated. Grease or oil may be inclinded to pick up dirt/grit which could make the mechanism a bit noisy.

I think they are a low grade of stainless, i.e. slight attraction to magnet. Even the o.e.m. cables are like this. One aftermarket set replaced lasted a year, before rusting through and mangling. So I just oil/grease them as a matter of course now.

I've removed 10 x 10mm bolts, the 3 winder motor torx screws and lifted the assembly away. I have disconnected all of the wiring connectors & punched in the 2 plastic clips and unlatched the small oval plastic clip below them but the steel inner panel absolutely refuses to budge. What else have I missed?

You've missed the fact that the waterproof foam seal all around the edge of the regulator panel tends to stick like glue. I used a wide, flat, flexible knife to part it all the way around, spraying silicone spray into the gap as I went. I was careful, but I still had to replace a section of the foam seal when re-fitting the panel.

+Robert Spencer Is the steel panel moving at all in any direction? It needs to move down just a bit for the track part to clear the door, and also the bit of plastic connecting the panel to the steel panel have they been broken off completely?

hi mate great video, i'm having a lot of trouble trying to disconnect the plug that goes to the latch mechanism, is there clips like the rest or is it just a case of pulling ?
@paulmackilligin1754

I've been dealing with these VW clips for years and I still struggle with them. You're supposed to pull the little tab on the side (facing you on that plug) DOWN to release the catch on the plug, while at the same time pushing the plug IN to relieve pressure on the catch so it can release. Then you can pull the plug out of the socket. This worked a couple of weeks ago on mine, but yesterday when I had to remove it again to finally re-fit the regulator panel, I could NOT get it to release, and ended up pulling bits of the plug off until I could release the catch with a screwdriver. Horrible things. Probably work very well on a test bench when new. To be fair, it would be worse problem if those plugs tended to come loose or let in water, so it could be worse.

I'm a noob. Please. Help. When I was finally reassembling everything, the door lock snib came off ._. Do I need to remove the door lock mechanism completely or is there any way to insert that bent metal rod without removing anything? I'm afraid of making this worse if I try to remove more things

Hi thanks for your quick response. I have changed the CCM. I bought 2nd hand but working order but still not working. How can I check wires ? I think there much be somewhere wire is not connected or attached with ccm. If I open the boot how I find the wires ??thanks for your Time and help.

From what i understand after a quick google for "vw golf mk 4 ccm replacement" sometimes frayed wires in the boot can cause issues. Im not sure if this will be the cause of your problem but on this here golf i did the work on it was having central locking issues and was also blowing fuses, i found frayed wires in the rubber grommet that joins the boot to the rest of the car, presumably the up and down movement of the boot over time had caused the wires to break. To get to these wires you need to remove the boot trim, and also the back part of the headlining. I would recommend joining a VW forum and posting up your problem there, Someone may have had the same problem as you and might know how to fix it.

Great instructional video with step by step subtitles... managed to hacksaw through those annoying plastic rivets to save snapping the plastic door connection. Window slides up and down nicely... the door locking button sticks up and won't sit flush with the door panel top though... any tips here would be great thanks.

The snib i think should sit proud when the car is unlocked, it sits level when locked. Perhaps the door lock module that it actuates may need moved up or down a bit

Jared Cianciolo Yep that looks like a good kit, especially the fact that the fragile plastic parts are replaced with metal. Just watch you get the right one I'm not sure if the 3 and 5 door models have different window mechanisms.

Im not really very good with VW stuff but the comfort control module sounds a bit like the peugeot BSI, it may be worth checking on google about changing the ccm i think there can be issues with broken wires in the boot can cause issues with the CCM. but id also check the fuses and relays associated with the CCM first especially if its all the windows that are not working.

Hi, I replaced the regulated but when I was doing it the door lock rod that goes through the door card came off, so I tried to re assemble it as best I could (correctly) and put everything back together. But now the central locking doesn't work, the other three doors work fine but you have to lock it from the inside now :( HELP
