Quick facts
- Part: Dorman 740-186 window regulator
- Fits: 2012-2022 Volkswagen Passat
- Position: Front left
- Material: Metal frame and housing, plastic gear
- Condition: New
A window that moves slowly, stalls partway, drops into the door or makes grinding or clicking noises can mean a worn regulator. These signs alone do not prove the regulator is at fault, since a tired window motor is another common cause.
Fits
This is a 2012-2022 Volkswagen Passat window regulator for the front left door, reverse-engineered to match the original equipment shape and dimensions. This side takes one, and the front right is its own part, ordered separately; the two are normally replaced together.
