I am new to the A2, having just bought a 91 GLI last week. The front passenger window worked fine for a few times then went down part way real slow. I was afraid it would get stuck down so I put it up. It went up at almost the normal speed, now it won't budge at all.
Is this a window regulator or a motor? Any experience with this?
TIA
 
Re: Front passenger window won't work???? why (H20Power)

all 4 of my power windows have either had the motor crap out or the switch crap out
to tell if its the switch, simply use a flat head screwdriver to gently pry out the switch of the window thats busted and replace it with a switch from a window you know works (its real easy just be gentle and patient)
it's the motor if you've tried it with a different switch and it still doesnt work
also, listen closely when you flip the window switch, do you hear a buzzing noise like its trying to move the window but its not catching so to speak? the window might have been bumped off track a little
from your description I am guessing it is your motor, good luck, my drivers side one was $400 to get fixed

if youre creative you can trying disassembling the door and replacing the motor yourself, if you buy a used one you might have the same problem in a couple years so you can do that or just buy a whole new one
i hopei helped you
