Good vid. Clear and concise. Definitely helped me get the job done on my E46. My window was jammed and immobile and blew fuse whenever switch activated. You confirmed my guess on how to move the window - cut the cable!

Thank you for this handy tutorial. I have replaced these with Valeo regulators which seem to be of a better design than the OE units.

We all hate window regulator issues but this tutorial helps. Steps to follow at our finger tips. Your lights are awesome. Can you talk about that a second on video? Most yt'ers buy lights and light stands but yours are garage strip lights? Really good placement and no shadows! Ya'll notice it? Perfect viewing. Really nice set up Alex.

Great video as usual. This has to be the first video I have seen that someone explains how to reseal the sound card / vapour barrier. Going to order me some tape just in case I need some in the future. 👍 Have you thought about using Amazon affiliate links to make a little extra money?

hi guys I have a 128i 2010 convertible, I did change my window regulator in my passenger side, I disconnected the battery but now the automatic window drop is not working, before when I opened the door both windows dropped half inch automatically, and when I closed the doors they when up automatically, I looked some videos here in KZfaq in how to fix it but I can't get the doors to work. anybody had this issue before and how did you guys fix it. thank you for your help.

With the ignition on, go to the windows that are acting up. With the window rolled all the way up, press and hold the window switch down, once the window is all the way down, keep holding it for about ten seconds. Then do the opposite, hold it all the way up for 10 seconds, one of those two procedures will reset the window initialization feature and should fix the problem

Hı I have a bmw e46 2005 .I replaced my right front and right rear regulators. I want to ask you: Will my left rear and front regulators break down in the future like the right regulator? Does it break down frequently? Is it related to whether to use it or not?
@DayOffDIY
@DayOffDIY 6 ай бұрын
its quite a common problem on all bmws. hard to say whether the use causes the failure or not. I think its not a bad idea to exercise all the windows every now and then, but regulators and sunroofs are notorious for failure on all the BMWs ive seen. soft tops too

Quite the opposite! The head tends to hold pretty strong, as long as it didn’t get nuclear hot. Most of the time the plastic cooling systems fail. Might be worth a look!
