Assembly Carrier, Removing and Installing

Assembly Carrier, Removing and Installing

The window regulators, the door lock and the loudspeaker are secured to the mounting plate.

The door lock can only be removed in conjunction with the subframe.

The mounting plate can only be removed when the door window clamping brackets of the window regulator are unscrewed. To do this lower door window to the height of the assembly holes in assembly carrier and loosen clamps.

If electrical windows cannot be lowered then the cause of the fault must be determined first.

To do this, interrogate with fault memory V.A.G 1551 of convenience system (address word 46).

If an electrical fault is present, repair this first.

If it is established that the electric window motor is the cause of the fault, then continue as described on.
