window regulator repair....

Post by taliban »

recently the drivers side leccy window stopped working on my 1997 1.4, upon investigation to my suprise i found bits of old frayed and broken 'fishing wire' inside the door so had a quick look on ebay and found a repair kit for about £15, i thought excellent and bought it. It took sometime to suss out where the bits of fishing wire go as the old was all broken but looking at pics on here etc i got it sorted, except the irritatingly stupid white cog wheel attached to the motor. can anyone tell me how the wires wrap round this? is there a simple technique that i cant suss out? sounds a stupid question but if i wrap one wire round it when it turns on the motor the other wire unravels everywhere and gets mashed up/ruined as i've just found out to my cost.

And why do VW who are meant to be a class act use such a retardedly stupid system with bits of friggin wire........jeeeeeeeeeeez.
