Unless a previous owner has installed different window winder mechanisms,
Left side regulator, turn the handle anti-clockwise to raise the glass:

Right side regulator, turn the handle clockwise to raise the glass.

 

A 66 bug I had 20 years ago also did this. Weird.

 

Thank you guys, what I have seems to be normal................that's a relief

 

I had to read this a few times to check... I think of it as the the way you move the winder when it is pointing forwards tells you which way the glass will go. Surely it would be weird if they didn't turn the same way on each side? (e.g. rolling forwards is down, rolling back is up)

I've never been in a car where they work any other way. 🤷‍♂️

Its not like rowing a boat, look at the mechanisms, the drive cog is on the top of the spiral cable, so the handles have to turn the opposite way for each side.
