Problem overview

Some Audi A4 Quattro owners report experiencing frequent front window regulator failures due to common issues such as electrical system malfunctions, broken window motors, and faulty regulators. Many have noted the need for multiple replacements within a short timeframe, with one owner replacing their driver front window regulator four times in just two years and another three times in two months, indicating a recurring problem. Additionally, some owners emphasize the importance of careful installation, as improper reassembly can lead to further failures, exemplified by a user who encountered issues after a small clip fell out during the replacement process.
