Hi, I have a 2001 Audi A6 and i am having a problem with my front passenger window. When I use either the drivers door switch or passenger door switch the window starts to slow down and get stuck and then automatically go back down. I have tested the motor and I know that it is not the problem, and there are no weird noises or anything. How do I find out what the problem is? Is it the plastic brackets or the window regulator? I don't want to buy a part and have it be a different problem. Your help is greatly appreciated, thanks

 

You need window guides.

Thanks, I guess I will change the plastic clips first and if that isn't the problem it must be the regulator right?

 

don't worry .. it is the clips .. there is a youtube vid on how to change them ..

 

Ok thanks

 

So It turns out that one of the clips was broken and I changed them and the window works great. Thanks for the help

 

told ya what colour were the ols ones BTW .. there have been 4 colours . I just did mine last week and the old ones were Blue. Only the rear one was busted but of course i did both. BTW buy two more cause you know what is coming ..

 

The color of the ones I replaced was blue and the new ones were like a pink. At least now I know what to do if that problem arises again.

 

With the same problem on A6 1998. Will the window guides be the problem. PLs advise
