How-To: Remove window regulators etc E30 Doors

[Shady 0]

Am trying to remove the window regulators and all the other mechanisms from my E30 doors (all 4) - then remove the windows.

Have undone the bolts but cant seem to figure out how to remove it all from the door. Is there a how-to somewhere on here or the Net? Have searched Google but no such luck - everything is false (not even for the E30 and not even what I need to know!)

Help!?

Manaul or electric, rack or cable? I can't remember specifically but either way - the procedure is pretty self explanitory as you undo the bolts.

Alternatively look up realoem for the assy breakdown:-

As no one told me, Im not sure if anyone even knew of this.

But on the actual regulator, there is a small rubber grommet - pop that off theres a hexkey hole - put hexkey in and turn it - window then goes UP & DOWN. So if you got no battery OR the regulators blown OR door is not connected/removed from the car - then this is the only/easiest way to remove windows/regulators.
