From the manufacturer
Why Do Original Window Regulators Fail?
Power window regulators can fail for a number of reasons, including excessive wear of mechanical pieces, rust and corrosion.
In some models, poor-quality plastic parts become brittle and break, and poorly designed components bend and twist over time.
Why Are Dorman Window Regulators Better?
Dorman was one of the first companies to provide window regulators to the automotive aftermarket more than 15 years ago, and we've since become experts at making these replacement parts effective and reliable.
Our engineers examine why window regulators from the original manufacturers fail, and then find solutions for those failure-prone designs. When you see one of our parts with an OE FIX label, that means we found a common problem with an original equipment maker's design, and implemented a creative solution to make the part more reliable or easier to install.
We also have advanced technological capabilities that allow us to integrate increasingly complex technologies into our motors, including printed circuit integration and embedded software engineering.

Easy to bolt in.
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2023
The regulator I received in this order from Amazon is exactly like the one I got from [...]. It is of lower quality than the OEM version or the first replacement that I purchased for my Jetta. I truly wish that I could remember the manufacturer of the aftermarket replacement regulator that I bought 6 years ago after the factory unit failed. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Instead, I am returning this unit and will pay the extra $50 to buy a unit directly from Volkswagen. Those units last about 5 years. These cheap aftermarket units only last a few months. The price may be almost twice as much for the OEM unit, but it will last 10 times as long.
You may need to get some push mount cable zip ties for when you move over the wiring, chances are you break some of the push mount cable zip ties when moving over the wire to the new window regulator.
The torque specs for the bolts that attach the window regulator to the door = 71 in/lbs or 8NM for the 2 bolts on the metal clips that hold the glass in place it is 89 in/lbs or 10NM. Use a torque wrench, and do the job right.
If you take the torque specs in account, chances are that your clips won't break on this window regulator, also to lower the glass in place, use some silicone lube spray or if you don't have it, maybe WD 40 on the rubber of the clips so you won't have to push to make the glass sink all the way in place. (Again, this will help not to break the clips prematurely).
When reinstalling the lock, you probably cannot reuse the rivets on the bracket to push it back into the new w/regulator, I find that a couple of nuts and bolts with some washer do an excellent job at it, a blob of hot glue over the bolts seals the deal :o)
If you still have the stock speakers, you may have to drill out the rivets, and get yourself an riveting tool, to reinstall the speaker onto the new window regulator.
In my case and changed out the speakers for some Blaupunkt speakers I got on amazon, got some adapters and riveted those into the new window regulator.
Finally, I used some grease I use for installing brake pads to grease up the rails of the regulator, another thing that prevents premature failure.
This is just a short write up, assuming you already know how to remove and reinstall the door lock, and you know how to remove the door panel etc...
just some pointers in my experience that help with the install.
