I have a 2000 Passat and I'm having a problem removing the passenger side
rear window. I've removed the door panel and want to remove the inner panel
that the window regulator motor is attached to. It appears that the window
is attached to the plastic regulator part in one location. When the window
is lowered, the point of attachment to the plastic regulator part is visible
through an inspection port in the panel. It appears that a plastic pin
about 1/2" diameter goes through a hole in the bottom of the window glass
and this is what secures the glass to the regulator. My problem is that I
can't determine how this plastic pin can be removed so that the glass can be
separated from the regulator. I need detach the glass from the regulator
assembly so I can remove the inner panel.

Can anyone tell me how to go about releasing the window?
Thanks,

Try yanking it off :) a little brute force. Failing that try a sledge
hammer. Might need a new piece of glass afterwards though.

are really like roll pins and you need to tap them into the door with a
hammer and pin punch then after you have removed the regulator plate you
can recover the pins. To re-assemble the door you need to gently tap the
pins into the glass before you put the glass into the door and then the
glass pushes down until it locates in the regulator.Also I think that
the door catch is attached to the plate and you need to remove the door
handle ( to remove the door handle use a T20 screw driver to unscrew the
small screw in the back edge of the door whilst holding the handle out
and the fixed part of the handle can then be pulled out then unclip the
small cable from the handle and pull the handle back and out of the
door, the handle frame can stay in place inside the door skin)and the
three bolts holding the catch before the plate can be removed completely
