2000 VW Beetle window regulator replacement

see the diagrams for power windows+doors and fix it. God bless you

THIS LINK SHOWS HOW TO REMOVE THE FRONT PANEL TO INSTALL AN ELECTRIC WINDOW MOTOR, BUT YOU GET THE IDEA. http://www.a1electric.com/vw.htm

PLEASE RATE!

Remove the motor then pry out the panel. Best is get a manual before you mess up your door handle and the locking mechanism. But definitely you'll need a new window regulator.

.leave window up half way.tape window to hold it.remove door panel clips.rip out foam moudling.drill out rivets holding regulator.remove connector.remove regulator clips.remove regulator.put in new regulator and clips.put in new rivets.plug connector.test it.if all is good install moulding and door panel.

Tried replacing the battery in the keyfob?

both regulators have gone bad you will need new ones

My 2000 Beetle does same thing (although not all the time). Just found an internet post that suggests there is a problem in the door lock sensor. I assume you are using a regular key - not
the keyless entry - like I am. He also said that you can disable the alarm (also disables the
keyless entry - which doesn't bother me) by leaving the front door AND the rear trunk open and
starting the car up. Seems to work so far. I will get the door lock sensor replaced and turn the
alarm system back on (not sure how yet), and let you know if that stops the problem.

Personally, I'd leave this one to the experts...go to a friendly local body shop and have them look at it ($50+ parts)
Good Luck

Check with VW to see if they issued a recall on the window regulators. They replaced both of mine about 2 years ago based upon a service recall. I had a 98 VW Beetle.

I do not recommend this job unless you are a seasoned mechanic, VW dealership charges $1000 for a reason. They almost earn it on this one. but heres how it's done or how I did it any way. the complete job took me 4 hours and I been at this for 30 years. But a lot of this time was figuring out how it came apart. First, drop the top, pull up on seat bottom and remove it, remove center panel, remove 3 allen bolts at bottom on seat back and remove. headrests, they just pull off, raise top just enough to make hinged panels flip up. remove nut at top rear corner of side panel. you can see the back side of the nut and bolt it is on from the panels that flip up. Remove Nylon push lock rivet where seat belt goes through panel on rear, top, corner. Pull out on panel to release it, there is 5 or 6 nylon locks that just pull out of holes in the body. It will sound like your breaking it when the locks pop loose, or mine did. then lift to gain access to remove seat belt bolts and unplug flip panel motors. remove cable end from its clip. Pull seat belts through panel. Set panel a side. remove torx head bolt around oval panel that speaker is mounted on. unplug speaker and regulator and pull wire harness thru hole. remove 2 allen and 5 hex bolts at top where window would come out if it worked. pull up on plate and move rubber window seal to the side to remove plate. remove 2 nuts at bottom of regulator and one about half way up towards front, lift regulator and window up through top to gain access to 3 nuts that hold window to regulator, from the top lift window out first then regulator. Reverse to assemble it.
