Polo vivo 2door window mechanism

Post by Imotions »

Howsit gents
On this cold morning my driver side window mechanism decided to break or well something inside broke resulting in the window being loose
Is the 4 door and 2 door mechanisms the same? Manual window not electric

Don't think so, as the doors are different sizes (and I assume the glass is as well) But that is just speculation...... also depends on what exactly broke.

The window mechanism cannot be repaired, you have to buy a new one. Mine broke something rather small and useless tried to glue it back on but it wouldn't work at all after that. Had to buy one from a scrap yard of a 9N its exactly the same. Got it for R250 dealership wanted R3.5k. Its very easy to install on your own.

3 door version doors are a bit longer than 5 door as per VW. When I was looking I had to be specific.
