I have a 2000 Passat and I'm having a problem removing the passenger side
rear window. I've removed the door panel and want to remove the inner
panel that the window regulator motor is attached to. It appears that the
window is attached to the plastic regulator part in one location. When the
window is lowered, the point of attachment to the plastic regulator part is
visible through an inspection port in the panel. It appears that a plastic
pin about 1/2" diameter goes through a hole in the bottom of the window
glass and this is what secures the glass to the regulator. My problem is
that I can't determine how this plastic pin can be removed so that the
glass can be separated from the regulator. I need detach the glass from
the regulator assembly so I can remove the inner panel.
Can anyone tell me how to go about releasing the window?
Thanks,
Harry
Try yanking it off

a little brute force. Failing that try a sledge
hammer. Might need a new piece of glass afterwards though.
