How to remove the window regulator motor and control unit from a vehicle door on Audi A3?

To remove the window motor and control unit, start by taking off the door inner trim panel, then disconnect the wiring connectors from the window regulator motor. Unscrew the mounting bolts and withdraw the regulator motor from the door panel, and if necessary, release the securing clips to remove the control unit from the motor. For the front door window frame, remove the window motor, pull back the rubber trim cover at the rear of the window frame to undo the upper mounting bolt, and unclip the rubber grommet to access the lower mounting bolt. Repeat this process for the front upper mounting bolt and the front lower mounting bolt above the speaker. Undo the window regulator assembly securing screws from the door panel, noting the number of screws varies by vehicle type. Release the locating clips for the window regulator from the door panel, then withdraw the window frame/glass and regulator assembly through the top of the door panel, taking care to note the position of the adjusters on the lower part of the window frame. To remove the front door window glass, take off the door window frame and undo the two retaining screws from the lower part of the glass before sliding it out from the guides. For the front door window regulator, undo the two retaining screws from the window frame. For the rear door window frame, follow a similar process: remove the window motor, pull back the rubber trim cover to undo the upper mounting bolt, unclip the rubber grommet to locate the mounting bolt, and undo the lower frame mounting bolt. Repeat for the front of the window frame, then undo the window regulator assembly securing screws and release the locating clips. Withdraw the window frame/glass and regulator assembly through the top of the door panel, noting the adjusters' position. To remove the rear door window glass, take off the door window frame and undo the two retaining screws from the lower part of the glass. For the rear door window regulator, undo the retaining screw from the window frame. Refitting is the reverse of removal, ensuring the adjusters on the lower part of the window frame are correctly positioned, and if a new window frame is fitted, use a 9mm Allen key to adjust its position in the door panel, checking alignment with the vehicle body as adjustments are made.

Audi A3 Window Regulator

The Audi A3 Window Regulator allows drivers to raise or lower their side glass easily and safely on the road. This small unit is fitted into the inner door shell, where it is firmly fixed to the panel by heavy rivets, so that the glass remains level even when the car goes over bumps. There have been two fundamental layouts in the various model years of the A3. Older automobiles employed a manual Window Regulator, in which the turning of a crank was connected to a cable or a toothed track, which raised the pane by the mere pulling of an arm. Subsequent models had an electric equivalent, the motorized Window Regulator, which rotates a small motor in either direction when a door switch is pressed, providing fast fingertip control and removing the necessity to lean over the cabin. The two styles are similar in that they both have guide rails, a carrier plate, and a cable or gear that runs along the guide rails, but the newer style has the power unit instead of the hand lever, thus making it much faster and simpler. This enhancement goes hand in hand with the Audi emphasis on daily convenience. Due to the repetitive motion of opening a window to get fresh air or place a drive-through order, the moving joints and cables of the device are subjected to constant stress, which is why, in time, wear can leave the glass half-frozen. Any Audi sedan, sportback, or cabriolet will last longer when moisture and dirt are kept at a distance from the mechanism. Finally, in case of fatigue, removal and replacement of the tired Audi Window Regulator is an easy task which will ensure maximum window movement that should not compromise the comfort and safety standards that Audi owners require.
