[Vwdiesel] Power Window Regulator

[David Cook]

Hi Milt-

I double-checked "KATE" and she said that the
Cabriolet uses the sissor type regulators, I checked
for '93 models, the latest for Cabriolet.

It is hard to tell which is more correct, though I
would say that KATE is closer, since that is what is
actually in my Cabby, and I doubt it was changed.

I know I've seen power windows with both the screw
type and scissor type.  My Corrado's windows are very
similar to the part seen on germanautoparts.com.  My
Dad's Passat's front windows have scissor type
regulators, and rear windows are also similar to the
germanautoparts.com pic.  All Power.

Hope this helps some in your quest.
