www.car-parts.com if you live in the States or Canada. ( Filling out your profile with location will help us a bit more )

Or check the local junkyards if you live in Germany or where ever.

depending on mileage (kilometerage), it should be covered under warranty. REDZMAN had this happen to him, and it was fixed for free. a couple others had it replaced free of charge as well.

The windo regulator went out.

They aren't cheap, but not really expensive either.

There's 2 of them, one for each side, 90 bucks each.

my passenger side just died too, how long does the warantee cover up until? I'm at almost 4 yrs and 40,000km only.

should i open my panel up and check it out first, or just bring it to the dealer?

EDIT: OK! my dealer said it's not covered since it's only 3 yrs ! almost 4 for me now. anyways when I open it up, what should I look for? how do I know if the regulator or the motor is broken?

My windows won't go back up, it keeps falling down even if i pull it back up with my hand, I taped the window up to the door, since I still need to drive to work.
