Replacing the window regulator is easy on these cars. I have replaced the regulators on all four doors a number of times on several Town Cars. You don't need any special tools to do the job. You have to be a little careful removing the door panel because you don't want it to appear to be damaged when you snap it back on the car. You don't want to tightly lock the window with anything like a clamp because you will need some slack to slide the window a little up and down. You need two long screw drivers to steady the window while you remove the rivets. The screw drivers slide through the holes on the inside of the door and pass under the lower window frame. I have never re-riveted the regulators back in the door. I always use the largest lock-nut and bolt combination that will fit in the holes. Town Cars have some tuff repair jobs; but, replacing window regulators is not one of them.

Dave:
 
 Did you ever get your door window problem resolved on your 91 TC? I can't believe that all of your window regulators went bad at the same time! As far as changing a window regulator on a Town Car as being easy , it is not easy regardless of who is saying it is, I can tell you on a 95 own car on the drivers door and I assume on the other doors you do have to remove the window as its in the way of removing the top two bolts that hold the upper portion of the track on!
 
 I put my complete remaocval and reinstallation of the window regiulator for my 95 T/C in the forum under Electrical. Look it and you will see. I still would like to know what your problem was and sure hope you got it fixed.
 
 Thanks for your response

hi,
 i have a 1995 volkswagen passat glx sedan car witha vr6 engine and my speedometer cluster gauges will not operate. i have checked all fuses under dash, and i have checked all relays under dash and they are fine. i purchased 2 used speedometer clusters from a local salvage yard and installed them, and this did not fix my problem. the blinker lights, high beam light, the clock, and the odometer all work on the cluster. but the other lights like the check engine, seat belt, trunk,oil temp lights do not work. also the gauges on the cluster like the fuel,temp,rpm and speedometer gauges will not work. i am a dead end with this problem has anyone had this problem or know what my problem is so i can fix this? i have read on some post that if my ABS computer or CCM is not working that will cause my problem, is this true. also i having trouble with my transmission shifting to correct gears, i believe this problem is being caused by my TCM, because when i put a used 2.0 tcm in the trans changed to some gears i was not getting before with my old one. the 2.0 TCM was not the correct one but i was doing a test to see if i got any change in the transmission and i did. so i will buy a new one to go in it. i did not want to buy this item if i did not need it. any help would be appreciated..thankd
