Had a window regulator to fix on a VW Touran (had help from a neighbour who has always taken cars apart...I rarely delve into this).
I've ordered a window regulator kit (essentially a retainer clip with two cables and a spool) and after hours of struggling we managed to refit (the old cable had shredded and the plastic retainer clip had broken).
Unfortunately we can't find the right method of spoiling the cables back on...it's guesswork (and a royal headache) and if fitted incorrectly it could potentially shred the new cable too.
Found a few good vids online demonstrating how to replace the regulator (and take the door card and panels off) but nothing specific to the cable and spool from the kit.
I've posted on Honest John but the VW forums (and other car mechanic sites) seem dead these days with very little traffic.
Anyone know of a still busy site (or better still....a solution to the above from any mechanics on here?).
This is the kit (with the full regulator below):
Cheers!
