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.

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 it on 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!

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
