OVERVIEW
Genuine window regulator mounting washer
The N-011-547-7 Genuine VW/Audi plain washer is used at the assigned window-regulator mounting connections on the Volkswagen Cabrio applications listed below. Its flat bearing surfaces form part of the original fastener stack beneath the associated mounting hardware.
Correct washer size matters when servicing a window mechanism: the inside opening must clear the intended fastener, while the outside diameter and thickness must match the original connection. This washer replaces an individual original component rather than a complete regulator mounting kit.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: N-011-547-7.
- Factory nominal dimensions: 6.5 mm inside diameter × 14 mm outside diameter × 1.6 mm thickness.
- Type: flat, plain mounting washer.
- Verified listing applications: assigned Cabrio front-door or rear side-window regulator connections, as specified in the table.
- Unit supplied: one washer.
These dimensions describe the washer itself, not packaged shipping dimensions. Match the original mounting position and washer arrangement rather than substituting by approximate appearance. Other fasteners within the same door or window assembly can require a different washer size.
Common reasons to replace
- The washer is missing after window-regulator removal.
- It is bent, distorted or no longer sits flat.
- The center opening or bearing surface is damaged.
- Corrosion or surface damage has compromised the original mounting hardware.
- A previous repair used an incorrect washer or omitted it.
Check the associated bolt, mounting surface, bracket and regulator before fitting replacement hardware. A replacement washer cannot correct a stripped receiver, cracked bracket or damaged window mechanism. Diagnose binding, glass movement and regulator operation separately from the condition of this mounting washer.

Installation guidance
Follow the factory window-regulator removal and installation procedure for the vehicle and window position. Support the glass as required and keep all mounting hardware identified during disassembly. Protect the glass and trim while gaining access to the mechanism.
Clean and inspect the mounting surfaces, restore the specified washer and fastener order, and align the regulator before tightening. Use the tightening instruction for the associated mounting fastener. Do not add washers to compensate for misalignment or damaged mounting points.
After assembly, carry out the required window adjustment and operating checks. Verify smooth glass movement, proper retention and correct installation of any removed trim or moisture barriers.
Ordering information
