Reassembling #3610

I will look for it tomorrow.

Hi Pat, I see what you mean. Note when you pull the clip out of the roller (in order to fit the roller) you end up with two washers, a spring and the nylon center. On your drawing you can see the clip right above the "washers". Page 285 for the rear quarter windows does mention in step 14 "remove the spring retainers (ie. what I called the clips) from the roller assemblies" when removing the glass.

Hopefully Holger has a photo from the strip down.

Mark, the window posts may have rollers, but if they do, they are not the same as the rollers on the regulator arms.

Please see the attached photos.

Photo #1 shows the rear quarter windows and the two posts.

Photo #2 shows a regulator post (L) and a window post (R). The regulator post is longer and has a smaller diameter 7/16" than the window post 13/32".

Also the notch for the retainer clip is at the bottom of the regulator post while the notch is at the top of the window post.

Pat,

here are some pics of the original assembly:

..and some more clues from Barry's excellent posts on VW Vortex;

Certainly looks like parts of two roller type assemblies (springs, retainer, retainer washer, barrels in metal(?)). It would make sense that the barrel and spring mount behind the washer and retainer in Hager's photo.

Here is a photo of the dismounted assembly:

Holger & Mark, thank you, that's outstanding! Now I know what I'm looking for!
