[V8] Window Regulator

[bblake1055 at aol.com]

Removing the inner door shell is the easier way.  I just did mine over the summer and first tried to do it without removing the inner shell and spend almost 2 hours trying to get the "C" clip back on.  Once I removed the shell it went right in.  It's easier if you have another set of hands to help hold the frame.  I didn't and it fell and scratched my window tint pretty good.

The V8 is exactly the same as a 100/200 and very similar to the 5000's. The only 
ifference between the 100/200/V8 and the 5000 is the door panel design and 
ounting. There are two different ways for replacing the window regulator on a 
ype 44 (V8/100/200/5000). 
One is to remove the window regulator through the hole in the inner door shell. 
his is not the easiest way, IMHO. However, it's a way to avoid realligning the 
nner door shell and window chanel after you are done. 
The other is to remove the inner door shell (four bolts, two on the bottom with 
hims. Keep track of where they come from, mark them or such. Two one the top 
hat are hidden by foam, unless it's fallen off over the years. This is the way 
 do it, it's less frusterating but more time consuming. Either way, it'll take 
t most four or so hours for a first timer.
BTW, it is held in by bolts. The newer VAG products have pretty much all swapped 
o rivets.

I vote do it yourself.  Its easy, at least if its like a 200.  I've done 2
replacements on T44's and its time consuming but simple and straightforward.
I don't remember drilling rivets though, I thought it was some bolts that
hold the Reg in place.
