Driver side power window switch replacement
I have an 04 A4 and the drivers window has stopped working. I took it in to our local Audi dealer and they said just the switch needs to be replaced and not the motor or regulator. Does anyone have and threads or instructions for me on how to replace this? I am a do it yourselfer and would appreciate all the help! Thanks

Check this video out. it shows how to replace the regulator but the steps are the same if you are going to replace your switch. You can watch how to take of the door panel and from there you can get to the switch and replacing it. Hope it helps.

Man I love stumbling onto DIY videos that are really well done. My regulator went bad and this video was so damn helpful.
Heres some pics of my bad regulator:
Bought my replacement assembly from ECS Tuning and saved an *** load of money buying the cheapest one on there (I compared the two as I disassembled and they were identical in build quality).

Hey Jago,
I need to replace my regulator on my A4 05. I am looking on the ECS website and there are some regulators for as low as $59.95 and some are $143.72. You are saying that the cheapest one is working for you? What would be the difference between the prices I wonder?

Yeah I'm guessing the price difference is branding markup and OEM Audi pricing.

The more I think of it tho, I'm not actually sure if there are white clips... I just don't remember well enough lol. In any case, the black ones definitely do the work and they were $1.00 a piece on ECS Tuning.
Hope that helps!

Ok, so maybe I spoke too soon about the cheap window regulators. Jumped in my car and went to the gas station quick and rolled my window down/up no problem. Nothing out of the ordinary. Come back from the gas station and I hear the familiar grind of my window regulator and sure enough the window is fucked again. My guess right now is something more is wrong. Something else is causing my window regulators to get all messed up.
I'm gonna tear apart my door again tomorrow and have a close look at things.
