Guest tint325i Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 First jetta I changed a door glass on threw me for a loop. Thankfully most of the answers are on the internet. Ive known how they come apart for a long time just havent tried it before, i think the mk5 golf was the first to be like this, its the only way to change a dropglass, quite alot of the VAG cars are like this you'll easily see all the little black bolts all the way round the door (and 1 little one behind handle), just be sure to put the right bolt back in the right hole because the are not all the same really easy tho, 2mins to remove 2 mins to refit, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
