Description of the problem	Left rear window regulator needs replaced. $675 for the repair. Left front window squeals when raising/lowering and sometimes when raising it - when it gets to the top it just pops back down and you have to raise it again. Suspect the regulator to be at fault on this window as well. The window regulator on vw products seem to have a pretty bad track record. What can be done to have vw step up and fix these shoddy parts? I can't afford to have this fixed! Now i just have to keep driving with my window partially up.
