As a 914 newbie does the entire regulator need to be removed in order to remove the glass or can the forward bolt & plastic block that lifts the window be removed and the window carefully angled to remove it? I need to replace the forward channel guide fuzzy and I don't think it can be done with the window in place.

The glass can be removed without taking the regulator out. There are two different doors… 70-72 and 73-76. The YouTube video is the later… and is an assembly video but should tell you what you need to know. I Always suggest stating the year of the car on a post as there are differences by year. |

Thanks Ed for the suggestion and my car is a 1974 1.8. I will search YouTube for the video.

I watched the video, but it looks like Ian took the regulator and the guides out first and then reinstalled everything including the glass.

Yes but the glass goes in last… so in reverse order you can take the roll up window out and then get to the guide. I assume you’re talking about the rear guide. The front guide is part of the triangle window.

Understood and it's the channel insert that is missing in the front guide that is also supports the vent window. I need to insert a fuzzy in the guide and was hoping not to have to remove the window. Thanks.

Be careful with that front adjusting screw. If I am not mistaken you could turn it to far and dent the door. Guys am I correct on this ?
