High-Quality Rear Left Window Regulator Repair Kit for Volkswagen Beetle Convertible (2003-2010) by AUTOPA Review

Attention buyers! The cable in this kit is too short. Excessive tension does not provide springs with elasticity, which can lead to premature failure of plastic parts. You're starting over with me on this painful repair job. There is a solution on youtube by cutting the cable shield to 3/4 inch.

Complete success. I received it today and installed it this afternoon. You must understand that a small modification is required to work perfectly. You need to shorten the cable housing from 3/4" to 1". Many reviewers said the cord was too short. Not so. One of my photos shows the position of the spring you need to reach. Put everything together and then sand down the body of the cable with a dremel to get the correct spring tension.

Item works great. After 12 hours of work on the machine I was finally able to get it working. Much of this is down to poor VW bug engineering. Driving them can be fun, but working with them is a nightmare. updated. After only 3 months, the plastic plug broke due to very poor workmanship and design. I'll order a second one just in case it was defective, but I don't think so. I suspect the problem is that the cable is too small which puts too much stress on the plastic and breaks prematurely.
