What's the symptoms of the regulator being bad? Window stuck in place and only makes clicking sound?
@alwaysunderthehood40142 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.

gents, F33 owner here. Unfortunately the top needs to be down (open convertible) to extract the window regulator assembly. How can i open the top? My regulator cable is broken: opening the top just makes the motor chew indefinitely...

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.

Great instructions. Really appreciate the detail. Changed out my motor and regulator. I ordered my parts from local BMW dealer.

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 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?
