after I did it the airbag light on the front desk was red. Seems to not be connected. I've done it exactly as described.

Thanks My Man, I saved few euro thanks to you all best 👊😉

The regulator I bought from you guys fits perfect and works flawlessly for my 2010 X3 (drivers side front). My window was stuck in the up position, so before I could place the notches in the bottom part of the glass in the clips, I had to carefully lower the window by hand. It's harder than it looks to remove the old regulator, took a few minutes to get it out. Excellent and succinct tutorial, much better than all the others I watched. Thanks for this.

Mines fell to bits where do the springs go

[@rajkhanna3987]

I missed removing the battery terminal and likely for that reason, the car wouldn't start after replacing the regulator. After jump starting the car, I am back up but the airbag sign is still on. I am sure I attached the airbag properly so don't know where to go from here. Anything I can do to fix the airbag sign? Thanks

[@DasArab]

Does anyway know if disconnecting the Air bag will result it it throwing the light on the dash?

[@mohammedhammadi1977]

Thank you so much, it was very helpful

[@buttdyno]

Those white clip to re attach to the glass are a pain unless I have a incorrect regulator it will not re attach

[@vladikovalev]

Need to do mine this week .. will definitely follow this video...

[@hrmthermalimage]

my regulator wires broke and the window motor was actuated up a few times until we figured out it was broken. is there a way to make the motor and regulator are in sink or does it matter? Thank you ... great video!

[@charlescoar7069]

If U install the window with the clips at the slotted holes as per video every thing will work.

[@charlescoar7069]

Make sure the window is properly fitted in the weather stripping on the post side & leave the tailgate open. With the battery disconnected U will not B able 2 get in.

[@rickypeters5221]

Question Please? Most of the brackets have come off of the Panel. What type of adhesive do I use to glue them back in their place? Will Hot Glue work?
Thanks for any and All Help

[@metal1999]
