HI ALL JUST THOUGHT ID LET YA KNOW IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS LIKE I HAVE HAD WITH YOUR WINDOWS NOT RISING AND ITS BECAUSE OF THEM STUPID PLASTIC WINDOW RUNNER CLIPS. DONT GLUE THEM OR BUY A NEW REGULATOR LIKE STEALERS WANT YOU TOO .
THE PART NUMBER YOU NEED TO GIVE THEM IS 4BO 837 463B. I HAVE BOUGHT SOME TODAY AT £ 1.90 + vat each!!!! AND THEY ARE STRONGER!!

Yeah, that only works for the front windows though, the rears have to have the regulator replaced.

oh right, didnt know about that, aint had no probs with rears yet!! better touch some oak or something.!

Hey guys! Please tell me more!

My mom's A6s' front passenger window goes down fine but struggles to go up. You have to help it with your hand to go the last bit. A new regulator has been ordered and the car is going in on Thursday to have it fitted. Going to cost in excess of R2000 ($270) at Audi.

You only need the plastic window blocks, you are wasting your money spending iton the regulator.

The deed has been done.

I phoned Audi and told them that I only want the window blocks. They politely told me that they only come as part of the whole regulator package. [:@]

It cost $270 for the regulator and installation. Was paid by our warranty though.

Anyways, it works fine now.

Did you find them online? Are you going to replace them yourself or do you think a mechanice needs to do it? I have that problem with my front drivers side window. I have a 1999 A6 Quattro V6 30V.

Thanks!

I have the same prob on my passenger side window, what dealer did you purchase from because my dealer says i have to purchase the whole assembly..

The gaffer, my local Audi dealer said they had 55 in stock when I called the other day to get some for my drivers door. Here is their contact info:

Hey all again, i managed to do both my windows in around three hours.

I used this site as it had detailed pics of how to do it. www.piglet-net.net/tech/cars/a3-window.html (http://www.piglet-net.net/tech/cars/a3-window.html)

I can get hold of these clips easily and they fit audi A3,A4,A6. Easy to post if anyone needs them. Happy to help :D

Hi, cheers jeffla but Im in the spain, Im english but live in spain..:D But I do need some urgentley so v6a630v are the fitting intructions be the same for the A6, I would imagine that they dont differ that much, If so can you email me on ????????? (startraxkaraoke@hotmail.com) and I can arrange to paypal you some cash so you can send some over to spain, thats if it isnt a problem.


gaffer

I just called Carousel Automotive in Minnesota and they told me it would be $390 to have them put new plastic window clips in one door...YIKES!!! I have never tried to fix anything on a car before, how difficult is it to fix them? If I follow the directions that V6A630v posted is it pretty easy to do? How difficult on a scale of 1 to 10? I'm trying to figure out if I can do it myself. Does anyone know how much they cost, where is the best place to purchase them?

Im goning to do mine, best thing to do is take the card off and have look, just take ye time..

Hmm, can anybody, who ill replaced that plastic thing, make some pictures, how to do it on A6 ?
Thx :)

Jeffla (http://www.audiforums.com/showProfile.asp?memid=25820), how much did u pay for it?

I paid $14.00 dollars, and plan to do the labor myself. I just did this on our BMW and it took around 3 hours. I will be doing mine soon, maybe next week, will take pictures for ya.

Jeff

good idea jefflla, as the pics that v6A630v posted are from the A4 and slightly differ from the A6...

great job Jeffla !!!

Instructions for window guide replacement on the A6:

http://www.audiworld.com/tech/int45.shtml

It's not a bad job. Just take your time, and make sure you mark the bolt and shim locations prior to removing the window frame.

Looks like I don't have to take any pictures now.

scale of 1 to 10 i would say about 4.! not hard just make sure you mark doors before removing framework. The pics i posted were for a a3 but i have an A6 and its the same just dont undue the regulator. its un needed. wind window NEARLY all the way down and you can get to remove clips easily and replace them. grease runners too while its apart.

Bump

Sorry to bump this thread but need it handy...[8D]

I need the green plastic clib for my 02 A4 I dont want to buy they whole thing, can anyone get it for me or part number for the "right rear window".

Mine seams to do this only when the window gets wet. I was going to pull the panel and grease the rails. why would you need to replace them? Are they broken? I would think they jut get dried up after a while and require some lube.
