- How to replace your #BMW window regulator and/or motor if your window is stuck, doesn’t go up or down or makes a crunchy noise when moving.
Plus I explain how to “relearn” the window once replaced.
I use a magic labour saving tool which makes the job 1000 times easier.
I go over the costs (inc time) of doing this #DIY vs a main BMW dealer cost.
This method will the the same, or very similar for many cars with frameless windows inc E92, F32,F33,F36,F44,F20,F21 plus my good old Mercedes R230 SL.
Part number is:

Thks great video and defo need the tool, tried with pump pliers and you really risk cracking the glass. Good ol BMW make it difficult to DIY cars like most these days...BTW worth getting a few spare doo card clips in case you break any, fragile plastic over time..
Thanks! Glad you liked it. Good advice on the clips
Hi, this is a great guide. I used it to replace the regulator on my GF’s 116D. However the window is not level and I cannot see any adjustment except the lateral movement at the bottom of the rear track. In my case the window is not going all the way up to park behind the roof edge.
Does your car have the same 2 sprockets as mine? The ones I used the special tool to loosen/tighten?
Please be aware I have the same make, model and year of car, my set up is slightly different, you do not need the special sprocket tool.
If you can get your hand around the back of the glass from underneath inside, in the middle of the sprocket there's a hex bolt, just get a spanner on it.
If the window is stuck down, remove drive motor via 3 nuts loosen rails and it should wiggle-slide up so you can get behind it👍 other wise the same, great video👍
Thanks. In my case the tool took ages off the job plus its made it easier to adjust the window slightly afterwards👍 thanks for commenting, might help those who need to try this without the tool and have the window stuck open.
Nice car
I did mine about a year ago, similar issue with the wire. I still need to adjust as i get wind noise over 65
Had a bit of wind noise myself but not enough to warrant adjustment. Think it may have been like that before.
thanks a million
Wow thank you for the kind donation. Glad my video helped!
thanks ! 🙏
Thank you! Glad it helped!
I just replaced my regulator but the window doesn't want to go up all the way. It hits about 2/3 of the way up and then reverses automatically. If I i can get it to go up all the way by pressing the button in short bursts but the motor sounds like it is really struggling. Typically it stops responding and I have to pull fuses to get it going again. Any thoughts on what could be causing it to bind? Hoping it's not the motor...
Edited to add that it also struggles on the way down from a fully raised position.
Have you tried the reset procedure? Normally open all the way and hold the button down for 5 seconds. Then all the way up and hold for 5 again? Unless of course you here any unwanted crunching noises?
@@autogaragelife I did try the procedure -- that's when I hit this issue with the window not wanting to go up all the way. No crunching noises -- just the sound of a motor struggling with the last 1/3 of the raise. I may take everything out again (ugh) and spray some [[lithium]] __silicone__ grease on the regulator tracks but I have to imagine it's all pre-lubed.
@@kazanjig ahh I see. If it was me I’d double check the fitment as you say. You might do more damage by keeping trying.
@@autogaragelife Just found a thread online that this may not be an uncommon issue. Lube the tracks (silicone rather than lithium which can break down plastic/rubber), wax the window (yes, regular ol' body wax). Will give it a shot later on.
Cant hurt. Hopefully that resolves it for you. I lubed the rubber seals on mine but as its frameless it worked with the door open no problem. Lubed the door seals in any case. Good luck and let me know if it works so others can see 👍
Hi does anyone know if the window hook wrench is a standard size for all BMWs?? If not where can I get one for my F34
Yes and this fits the f34:Laser 5842 Window Wrench - for BMW amzn.eu/d/4aDCpF3
Cool thanks you very much. I’m attempting the same thing this weekend.
Take your time with the glass!
Hi pal. Just wanted to let you know I had a go at this after work today and all went according to plan. Don’t think I’d have been able to do it without this video though so massive thank you pal! I reset everything and all seems to be working sweet. One question though I got it up to 60mph ont ring road going home and there was ever so slight noise, wasn’t a whistle as such but a small vibration/gap maybe. I had a proper look when I got home and the window touches the rubber seal at the bottom but at the top there’s like a 2 maybe 3mm gap. So I’m wondering if I loosen the window cogs with the tool and try pull the front up ever so slightly and retighten do you think that will work to bring it fully into line? Once again thank you very much for your time! 👍🏼
Great glad you got it fixed. Yes I had to adjust mine a bit as well. Just remove the lower trim, loosen the sprockets and move the glass up then tighten in place. Quite a bit of play in it. I judged the placement using the writing on the glass and compared to the other side. 👍
Is the link for the parts website correct? Doesn’t load for me
Nope, it wasn’t right anymore. The company seems to have changed names or just web URL. Now is bimmerstock.co.uk I’ve updated the link in the vid. Thanks for pointing that out.
Thanks. Did you consider “compatible part?” Seems a few cheap options online where as the BMW one seems hard to come by.
No, not worth it in my opinion. Sometimes OE parts are the only way to go.
Mine has just gone today. My motor works but my window has fallen down into my car door. No idea what the problem is
Probably a snapped cable I’d guess. If you take the door card off you will see.
@@autogaragelife yea I need to check it’s half down. I have pulled it up and holding it up with a sucker. Waiting for the weather to be good first before i check it out
Be interested when you do the thrust piece in the steering, just had mine at bmw and they mine needs doing. £321.11 at bmw. Dont buy the android screen for the bmw, i bought one and sent it back. It was awful
Yeah might wait until better weather kicks as we rely on this car daily atm and my merc is sorned. What android screen did you try, heard mixed reviews on some models.
Oh and thanks for watching😁cheers.
@@autogaragelife kind of funny, i bought mine, got bimmer mods, did window when it broke like yours and then did screen. Had mine 2 years, very good car. Mpg is a little bad though for a diesel
Think I’m going to chance one soon. Thinking of this one: bmods.co.uk/shop/bmw-androids/bmw-3-f-series/
@@autogaragelife mine was the same, mine could of been a bad one but my iphone wouldnt connect very well. But it was the brand new iphone and may not of been coded for it. Im going to get a newer idrive and screen kit and get it coded for my car instead
