Just used your video to replace mine as the garage wanted £225 - so thanks for a good video that I followed step by step. Nice one, cheers

great video, about to tackle my broken window switch this evening. Quick tip for anyone who's windows are stuck open as the button is broken (or stuck closed and its really hot and you need to drive home before fixing) if you press and hold the key fob locking button any open windows on the car will close. Conversely if you press and hold the unlock button, all the windows on your car will open. Hopefully that will let you keep your car safe or cool if your windows are either up, or down, when your window switch breaks. 👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks for this video. My main window switch completely disintegrated after a few years of use. The plastic just broke. All that was left was sharp metal. In any case, this video made me feel better about doing it myself. Bought a genuine VW switch module and swapped myself. Easy peasy. Gratsi!

I googled the average cost of replacing your car door window switch, and it can range anywhere between $200-$300, depending on your car make and model. The fact that you can purchase a new switch for ONLY $30, and do it yourself and SAVE hundreds of dollars is AMAZING! And it’s CLEARLY so easy (THANKS TO THIS TUTORIAL 😉)

Thanks Luke, for basically the only MK7 switch replacement on YT (in English). Watched 3 times and still not looking forward to this, like you, very much dislike plastic clamps and the fear going too far. Same as you, I like to roll my window down when driving, and other 3 are in perfect condition from little use. Appreciate the close-up of broken switch. This would be 200-250 at a Shop, but the BS, make appointment, drop-off, get a ride, get a ride to pick-up, pay the man.

I'm wondering why you didn't just remove the switch and bezel from the top of the door card instead of removing the entire door card and risk breaking stuff that has nothing to do with removing and replacing the window switch. Just use a flat bladed screwdriver under the forward part of the bezel and pop it out from the top instead of underneath. It looks like you went the long way around of doing it the simple way.

Thanks Luke, awesome video. I changed my switch today, the "long" way so definitely worth taking a little extra time to do the job properly. I did manage to do it without disconnecting the other wires by having someone hold the door card upside down while I removed the switch casing which is fiddly. Thanks again

I own a MK7 2017 VW Golf Wolfsburg Edition. Your video is like saying to get into the front door & driver seat of my car, I need to open the hatch, crawl through the opening smaller hatch between the seats, and then through the back seats into the front driver seat to start the car and then go somewhere. Why not open the front door and sit in the driver's seat, to go somewhere? A whole lot easier. There's absolutely no need to take off the door panel to carry out this small task. Insert a flat head into front end (nearest the door handle pull) in the underside of the switch casing cover edge. Push with a screwdriver gently, firmly until you feel the switch casing release from the clips. Be patient. Then pull up on the front side and the switch until it comes right out. I did it last night, it took me about 15 total minutes because I took my time, to take the switch out, put the new switch in and, I was done! Your instructions might attract more video likes, but it also increases the odds of breaking something else that is completely unrelated to the switch, and it'll take you a couple of hours to do that job if you're skilled. If not it may not happen very well at all and go south.

@LukesVlogs97 11 ай бұрын

Thank you for giving me your opinion! I appreciate it. Your way does seem easier but in my video I preferred to do it the other way. I didn’t want to break the clips, it was something I’ve never done before so I wanted to do it the only way I knew how! Maybe you or I can make a new video that’s faster? 👍🏼

Bro bro I’m having the same issue. Driver side doesn’t work. All the others do. I accidentally got snow in there one cold morning and my hands were too freezing to give a fuck in the moment so I dug what I could out. Few days later it stopped working. I’m not sure if this is still a master switch issue because that one doesn’t work but the other 3 do but there probably isn’t the physical damage like yours had. Mine is most likely an electrical situation. You think I should still be good ordering an assembly and that would prob a be the fix and not an overall electric overhaul? I’m so glad there’s someone who was in my same predicament so I could easily find this video.

Mine is the same as in the video, if you can close and open that window with the key button its not the motor or the wiring, its the switch.

its possible that the same thing that happened to me happened to you. if you watch the video closely it shows that all the switches work except for the driver side window. its the most used window so it makes sense that it breaks first. i replaced the whole switch, which I think is the easiest thing to do in my opinion. there is a link for the part in my description if you you would like to do it yourself! hopefully this helps! have a good day!

Thank you for commenting I really appreciate it! It might be possible that you can remove the switch only but it’s more likely that you can break the clips that holds the casing for the switches. for me personally, I was more comfortable taking off the whole door because it was easier to access.

This is very ill-informed advice that will destroy the mounting clips for your door. Use the proper wedge tool to release the four round push-in clips as they are designed. Following Luke's method will most likely end with your tearing those clips apart. Their not showing it fully reinstalled is kind of a tell that they broke their tabs. You can find the "door panel trim retainer clips" online from a few brands. Make sure you get those and the forked pry tool to properly remove the panel. Luke also completely skips showing how they managed to get at the the very difficult to reach locking tabs on the body of the switch closest to the inside of the trim at 2:28. I had to use a hooked o-ring removal tool to push that tab in. Don't just force things like Luke is showing here. Also, the red reflector doesn't have to be removed.

Although my experience was perfectly fine and nothing was broken, I have helped many other people with this method and they have shown their gratitude in the comment section. Please don’t assume that things were broken, if they were I would have mentioned my mistake so others wouldn’t replicate it. If your method is more successful and efficient then you should post a video to help others. I’m sure people would appreciate it. Thank you Have a good one 🤙🏼
