Guest Simon* Report post Posted September 8, 2009 My driver's window is having seizures. Just searched forum and seems likely to be a regulator issue by the sound of it. Symptoms are: Auto wind mode (one quick push) down, takes the window down ok but motor keeps winding after glass is fully down with a clicking noise until I cancel it. Coming up window goes about halfway then stops, more winding and clicking noises Will take door apart this arvo but what am I likely to be looking for?

BM WORLD 1275 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 Thanks Mike but if it is the regulator I'd prefer to go new Cheers they hardly ever fail . just go good second hand one . i have never had one fail on any of my e34's and have only sold a couple of the last six years . not unlike the e36 , e39 , e38 ones .

melowpuf 19 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 I have seen one e34 regulator fail.. the passenger side one is a major pita to replace.. drivers side is quite simple.. Have seen lots of clips break on the arms and make big thumping and clicking noises and jam the window when winding up.. Maybe yours are worn due to excessive use around education facilities...

Maybe yours are worn due to excessive use around education facilities... i have heard of some little plastic part breaking,but downst expalin why it would keep going at the bottom,unless the plastc part has a role in limit switching.

Guest Simon* Report post Posted September 11, 2009 Window regulator has eaten itself rather spectacularly. Will be in touch in next day or so Mike to sort out another Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
