To reach the first screw holding the door panel onto your Mk3 Audi TT, remove the speaker grille. Above the storage compartment under the arm rest is where the second fastener is situated. The door card can be dislodged from the studs connecting it to the door frame by using a trim removal tool, after which it can be slid upward and out of the window channel. You’re done when you unclip the wiring from the back.

A window regulator is what?
When power is applied to an electric motor or, in the case of manual windows, the window crank is turned, the window regulator is the mechanical assembly that raises and lowers a window.
Window regulators are hidden under the door panel, where they remain until they malfunction. A drive assembly gear breaking, a cable or pulley coming loose or breaking, or the regulator carriage losing touch with the window to guide it up and down are a few potential problems.
Regulators are frequently riveted to the door, making it difficult to replace or remove them.
How can I tell if the window regulator is defective?
Your car’s door contains the motor or window regulator. When rolling the window up or down, it is usual for drivers to hear a grinding or clicking sound. If the window is forced hard enough, it may slip off the track and become trapped in the door or in its current location. This could be caused by a buildup of dirt or debris, or occasionally a small toy could be stuck in the gap between the window and the motor, which is a typical occurrence in family cars.
What occurs when a window regulator malfunctions?
The window may jam or drop within the door as a result of a broken window regulator cable. See this illustration of a broken cable that rendered the power window inoperable.
When the window is moving, strange noises may be made by worn-out cable guides or a frayed window regulator cable. The window might not extend fully up or down for the same reason.
The window could become frozen shut in cold weather. The window may detach from the window regulator if the window switch is depressed.
If this occurs, the window may be re-secured in some vehicles without the need for component replacement, while in others, the window regulator may need to be changed.
When the power windows aren’t working properly, an automobile is deemed unsafe. Concerns over a power window mechanism led several automakers to issue recalls. On the NHTSA website, you may find out if a vehicle has any open recalls.
