Thank you from Germany. :-) Das Video ist sehr gut gemacht und alles ist perfekt erklärt. Kurz zur Information: Der Motor kostet in Deutschland ca. 160 Euro, was ca. aktuell ca. 172 US-Dollar entspricht.

Absolutely brilliant video, Every step is included in great audio and video detail. gave me the confidence in ripping apart my e93 convert. thanks man

Thanks a bunch really helped. Note the bottom bolt is a T40, not 30. Also the window nuts are 8mm not 10mm, at least they were for me. Great video pal

After my workshop elegantly refused to repair the rear power window of my BMW because it is "too complex", I did it myself with the help of this video. Perfect guidance. Thanks!

Anyone needs instruction with convertible top up and window not rolling down. You need to use a diagnostic OBD tablet (I use Autel MqxiCOM mk808) plugs into car OBD port, go through menu to command car to put convertible top on service mode, once in service mode, you can open the convertible using the open button on the car. If top acting weird after replaced the window regulator, then you have to go through the menu to initialise power window regulators. I hope this helps anyone who got a broken window regulator flooded inside the rear quarter panel. Thank you for this instruction video on how to replace the window regulator. 😊

Hi , can you tell which model of the 808 you use, as there seems to be different versions

Want to say thanks, I've just changed the same unit on my UK 2014 4seiries convertible, a little different in the door panel, there were no screws or weather strip to remove but with your vid and another it took 2 hours to sort it and change over the window. Big thanks again, saved me 100's!!

Excellent video. Tackled the regulator myself after watching this. Mines was a F33 420D Convertible 2017 and was very similar. The only issue was getting the glass holder cogs off. Used a flat head and a rubber mallet to unscrew.

That gray brown box with BMW AG on it (the one you didnt know what it was) is the Antenna Aerial Amplifier, the Aerial is actually attached to the upper part of the interior trim and as well as feed from the rear window.

many thanks for this vid just helped me replace window motor on bmw m4 2016 only diff was no need to remove interior trim ( where light strip is)to expose screws behind panel trim as 2016 f series only has one external screw on rear internal quarter panel rest is pull clips

thank you for your video which is a real treat, thanks to your video I started and I changed my window regulator myself.

That was really useful, thanks. Just knowing where the screws and clips are so you dont end up prising against a screw that you thought was a clip!

Great instructions. Really appreciate the detail. Changed out my motor and regulator. I ordered my parts from local BMW dealer. The new motor bolt receivers are not threaded- spoke with bmw parts guy and he said, it’s normal for bmw to not thread some plastic parts. Thought this tidbit might help someone else.

Glad it helped you out. I don't monetize these videos because I find it very time consuming to make them. I'm an auto mechanic by trade and not great at video making. I do so much side work and every now and then, I use KZread as a reference. If I can't find a good video for what I'm doing, I try to make one. Thanks for the comments, they're much appreciated.

Everything you need to know including the shape of the regulator for 2nd hand part. Surely there must be a simple cable replacement than binning the entire frame?

proper pro..👌

Thanks for making this videos save my ass

Thank you for the video, it helped me a lot. I have the following problem. When I close my window it is about 0.5 cm higher than normal. How can I regulate this?

Great video brother! Unfortunately i have to attempt this because the last owners Indy messed the job up.. the drivers side window overlaps the rear. If i take it apart do you think its possible to move the rear window back about an inch? (im assuming the bottom screw wouldn't need touching) My drivers side overlaps the rears weather seal almost glass on glass

@stevemarra1534

I'm not sure, it's been a while now since I did this repair. It's possible that the window regulators for the front and rear windows both have adjustments for moving the window forward and backward.

How did you remove and reinstall the outside quarter panel strip? Window wiper At some point it shown to be removed and at other time it’s back That’s the only part I need to replace now

Hi All, I am from the UK and new owner of a 2008 E93 M3 When I purchased my E93 one of the rear windows would not lower, I removed the trim then the regulator complete with the motor. Rather than buy a complete new regulator / motor assembly I thought I would disassemble the motor, found it to be seized and full of water, after about an hour managed to clean it all up, re-lubricate and reassemble, worked great………….but! It now jams when it reaches the end of its travel going downwards, I then have to remove the motor body to release the tension, then it works again? Any advice please? I think it may be the hall sensor has packed up?

Hello mate what is the best way to remove the exterior weather strip.. At 9:30 it just disappears?

Mine is E46 330ci boss. Same procedure to remove and installation

great video! someone broke the same window on my car i bought a new glass and put that one in following this video but when i close the window it doesn't match with the rubber on the roof. instead it's going outside :( any ideas why it's doing that?

Thank you I had to do it on a 430 I my roof will not go wrong so I had to sneak the window out😂

What chassis is this ?

My problem is, the motor burned out when the window was down and I can’t get it up to un-bolt it. It’s seized and I can’t get it to roll to the top of the regulator slide. Any ideas on that?

Good night Sr , a question . Based in your experience fixing these Hard Top Convertible 328i Bmw cars, do you find common parts for these cars( like starter , alternator , water pump , Ac compressor , sparks plugs , CV Axes etc) to be accessible or reachable( not a pain in the ass to reach them ) when it comes to replacing them by yourself ? , the thing is that I want to buy one of these cars but I like fixing my cars, not somebody else to fix it unless I realize that person knows what he is doing and put real care in the job he is doing , thanks

I find these cars only slightly more challenging to work on than any other car. The real issue is when I have to scan the ECM or Body Control Module. It's difficult to find an aftermarket scan tool that works well with BMW.

Hi I have a 428i and need to open hardtop roof manually. The roof will not retract, I think it has something to do with rear window not working. My rear window will not open or close, but I can hear motor. I have dismantled so much but to pull window out the roof is in the way. I just need advise on opening the hardtop manually, please.

What's the symptoms of the regulator being bad? Window stuck in place and only makes clicking sound?

@alwaysunderthehood4014

Ай бұрын

This a cable type window regulator. The most common problem with them is the plastic wheels break or the cable binds. When they're broken, they make a clicking noise and the window may or may not move.

How do get the roof down if the window won't move down. I have an error code stopping the roof going down

Hi. If the window won't go down, that could be a bad switch, bad motor or broken regulator. If it makes noise but doesn't move, probably a bad regulator. If it makes no noise at all, probably a bad switch or motor.
