okay guys. i rolled up my window today, heard something break. great sound. got home.. rolled it down CAREFULLY and got the glass inside the door. took off the pannel and it turns out the two green little plastic tabs that roll the window up and down are broken. i called Audi Mission Viejo to see what they had to say about it and to get some info. they said the parts are around 20 bucks each and it would cost 370 for them to fix it. unless the regulator needs replacing, in which case it would cost 515. i laughed and hung up. he said it would take his guys 3 hours to do which is a load of bunk. any thoughts? where can i find the parts and REALISTICALLY how hard would it be to pop the pannel off, remove the regulator and reattach the clips? feedback would be appreciated. its kind of urgent considering i don't want to leave my window down all night. nor do i want to trash bag it. i'd rather die. it's the driver's side window by the way.
thanks.

 

okay i basically figured out what i need to do.. i just need to find a way to buy those clips.. anyone know wherei can find what part number they are?

 

IIRC audi does not sell those little green monsters seperatly for us A4's.

but they do well them for the A6's, i do believe that there is a write up on this somewhere about using the A6 pcs.
i THINK its on AUDIWORLD.

 

yeah i saw the write up for the a6. that was the first thing i saw when i searched. it helped me figure out my basic problem, but how the hell am i supposed to get those little clips?

 

stealership sells them seperatly for A6 but not for A4......kinda F'd up i think

i think that they are called window guides.

 

yeah that's whack. well what the hell am i supposed to do? haha buy a new damn door? how can i get some of those stupid pieces of plastic?

 

some suggestions I have is ebay and local junk yard where there could be some clips for the window.

 

yeah i think i'll have to go with that.. it's a problem though 'cause the window is stuck down....
