OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi door window retaining pin, part number 6N0-839-511. This pin is used at the matching rear-door glass attachment to the window regulator. The expanding-pin connection holds the glass at its carrier so regulator movement raises and lowers the glass with it.
Technical details
- Original part number: 6N0-839-511 / 6N0839511.
- Retaining pin for the specified rear-door glass-to-regulator connection.
- Supplied as one pin assembly, as pictured. Glass, regulator, motor and door trim are separate.
- Verify the installed carrier and connection before ordering; front-door and other regulator designs can use different hardware.
Common reasons to replace
A loose, missing or damaged retaining pin can allow the glass to separate from its carrier. Replacement may be needed during regulator work or when the attachment no longer holds securely.
Inspect the connection if the motor operates while the glass stays still or the glass slips into the door. Cable damage, a failed motor or binding guides can also prevent window operation. Check the regulator and the glass attachment before choosing replacement parts.
Installation and service notes
Support the glass while accessing the attachment. Follow the vehicle-specific door disassembly procedure and inspect the glass mounting hole, carrier and surrounding guides. A damaged mating component must be addressed before the new pin is fitted.
Use the current factory procedure for seating the expanding-pin connection. Some documented repairs require additional retention treatment; this listing supplies the pin only. Keep the glass aligned, check the completed joint and verify smooth window travel before refitting the door trim. The attachment must remain secure throughout operation.
