[Vwdiesel] Power Window Regulators

That I'm not 100% sure.

I have access to a VW parts program, and checked for
parts numbers.

There were no part number differences listed for two
or four door rabbits.  So, I guess they must be the
same (but I can't promise this...).

However, the Cabriolet regulators are actually totally
different.  The Rabbit regulators are kind of a screw
type, while the Cabriolet regulators are more of a
scissor type.  I guess if I had thought about that
earlier, I would have known, as I've seen both many
times.

Hope this helps.
