2002 gls tdi golf
The driver side window just slammed down, won't come back up, the motor for the door still seems to be on.

2002 golf gls tdi automatic with 100k+ miles.

Should I keep the car, I can actually get my $ back through some autocheck website.

Otherwise it runs pretty great. (40 miles driven so far).

Bought the car on ebay, shipped from Florida, now in California.

I'm distraught, and am hoping to get some solid advice from the forum

thanks,
drew

There is no recall. They extended the warranty on the window clips to 7 years from the purchase date. You should not have to pay anything if your car falls within that range.

I'm getting mine done next week for free, you should be fine if your car is a 2002. Just find a dealer

pm me if you need a copy of the letter VW sent to owners regarding this issue. In June my Jetta had the same problem and it was fixed for free by a VW dealer in cleveland oh. 3 of 4 others I had called agreed to do it for free. one was dishonest (imagine that--a dishonest vw dealer), and said it's 175.00 and there never was, is, or will ever be a vw service bulletin on this issue
