Audi Repair: audi repair, small screws, door latch


Question
the passenger window on the drivers side seems to have come off the track. I've looked and don't see any screws. how do i remove the rear door panel to fix the window on my 2003 Audi a4?

Answer
The door panels are noramlly held in place by a coupole of large screws that are covered by plastic clips or hidden under armrests etc.  Then there are usually a series of plastic clips along the bottom, a couple of small screws in the door shut, and the connection to the door latch.  These kind of things are typically described in the forums on audifans, audiworld or audizine, usually with pictures which is much more useful than me describing it.  What you will probably find is that the mechanism itself will need the actuating wire replacing, so it may be worth having this replacement part when you start this job...  Let me know how you get on,  Jan
