The manual design supports factory-style window operation, while the metal frame helps maintain stable movement inside the door assembly. This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 740-366 for the same application.

Installation Notes

Confirm the vehicle uses a manual front left regulator before ordering. Compare the original regulator shape, mounting points, and door-side layout to verify a proper match for Volkswagen Golf and Jetta applications. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the correct fasteners as needed during installation.
