HELP: Rear Door

[CamYoung]

Back windows are a bit trickier the fronts but google mk v golf rear window removal. I found some really good videos that showed the process.
in short you just lower the window to a certain point and the there is a plastic pin that you pull or drive out and the window just pulls out.
if you are in Melbourne and really not confident contact volkswerke in greensborough, they will be able to help.

This is the inside of the door I need to remove plastic rivets in Red Circle and one steel rivet in Yellow circle. OK to drill them out but does anybody have an idea on how or with what to replace the rivets ?

such a bitch of a job... im putting off doing it myself.. I cant afford another 700$ plus bill to have a door open.. Also be aware that it might be necc to get a window kit, as when you take the window out, if the clips havent been replaced, they will generally fall apart and you're up the creek.


edit - im keen if someone can source a half decent rear drivers side module Otherwise i guess i'll try the solder trick.

You dont need to drill the rivots. Just the red circle ones you push through with a centre punch. Where are you located?...VDUB..

Hi Leighaus, yep sure does look a bugger of a task and I am just going to have to get stuck in.

Hi VDUB, yeah thanks for the advice, you obviously know way more than me. I might borrow a mates rivet gun for the rivet in the yellow. Also read somewhere that the plastic rivets need to be put in because otherwise the lock module moves about. But I've read so much maybe I made a blue with that.

ATM I'm north of Newcastle for a bit but will be heading back to Syd, not exactly sure when.
