Power window assistance?

I just picked up a 99 Jetta III. Just trying to get rid of some kinks. How do I determine if the power window motor or regulator needs replacing? I need to remove the door panels to see what is going on. I removed all of the allen screws and there seem to be something else. What am I misiing?

Does anyone have a suggestion on the best manual to pick up for this car?

The regulators dont need replacing unless the window is having problems opening/closing. Plus there pretty expensive.

There are 2 philips bolts behind the inner door handle / window switch pannel thingy.

Thanks. There are two windows that are inoperable. One make sounds like it is tryin to work, the other does absolutely nothing.

hello, i am also having this problem, my window wont move, yet the motor and everything inside makes noise? i have to tape the window up so that it doesnt fall down. got any suggestions?

The regulators go bad on these alot, mainly the cables break. A new regulator is about 160$.

check with dealer about extended warranty, my 2001 I got letters for extended warranty on the window regs and the MAF (both replaced)

for manual I would recommend the bently manuals
