The vw window regulator

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The many issues vw caused with plastic components in window regulators the window regulator works with a motor that is known for internally shorting causing this item to be replaced $$$ {fault number 1} bolted to a door skin this motor has splines {plastic splines} so vw can make money on both items when this item chews the splines away therefore charging out a new motor not cheap, defined as wear by vw {fault number 2}
this splines into a regulator the reg consists of an internal winding of wire with a {plastic retainer} that is the common cause of the problems listed above and below as the wire groves into the plastic and makes ridges causing it all to bind up {fault number 3}tensioned up the window brackets that clip onto two side guides brackets commonly {plastic} so when fault 3 binds up it snaps the window brackets which are plastic and at this stage brittle so vw can make money on the replacement of this item then recall item after 2 generations of golf mk3 mk4 {fault number 4 } to put steel brackets hmmm
