Removing and installing front door window: VW Touran II

🧭 Before you start

Remove the door trim, inner slot seal, inner cover and cable feed. Lower the glass until the locking hooks are accessible, press them through while lifting the glass slightly, lift it out of the regulator and swing it forwards out of the channels. Refit into the channels, guide it without force into the regulator mounting, align with the rear frame and press it in until the retaining hooks engage. Run a functional test before refitting the cover, cable feed and trim.

Fits: VW Touran II (5T, 2015–)

• If the regulator motor is dead, remove the motor to move the glass by hand.
• Lift the glass slightly while freeing the hooks so it does not catch again.
• Seat the glass in the window channel properly before guiding it into the regulator.
• Bolts on this door are 8 Nm where your version specifies them.
• Test window operation before the inner cover and trim go back on.
