Hi craigybaby

Hi had the same problem on my bugeye last week
when we took off door panel 4 bolts holding regulator to
the frame 3 had dropped off and one had sheared it self off
we bought 4 bolts exactly the same from b&q
now my window works a treat

Just a quick message if this is the same problem as
mine you will need a spare pair of hands to hold the window in position
while you position all the bolts and tighten them

thanks stu
