thanks, my light module went bad so I had no windows headlights turn signals dash lights, one headlights out one tail lights out, well this morning I accidentally held the key fob button down and two rear windows went all the way down. no way to get them up. I took off the door panel like you showed here but I unplugged the motor, and took the two top terminals on it and used my fluke voltmeter leads as jumper wires and hooked them up to a 12 volt battery booster. I got the window up. did the same thing on the second side and only took me 5 minutes from door off to door on. going to get my module fixed on eBay for $52. 2011 328xdrive, 217,000 mi and no major problems other than this. I appreciate it, I wasn't sure how to get that vertical pull piece off.
This was an extremely helpful guide for my 2008 i335. BMW dealership wanted $600 but I fixed it for $50 in 2 hours flat. Two issues that I had: First, I was unable to push the window up to push back the clip, so I had to snip the old regulator cable. Second, the new Dorman regulator had 2 rubber pads on the receptacle that made it impossible to push it into the clip. After I removed those rubber pads, it was possible to clip it on. Thanks for the extremely helpful guide!
Thank you for this comment. I'm working on my husband's 335i while he's deployed, and you saved me multiple steps, and (I'm sure) a ton of frustration, by mentioning the 2 rubber pads. Thank you again!
great video. i just finished changing the regulator on my car. got a quote for approx. $600 CAD (parts and labor)at the Bmw dealership... got this done for $40... and learned something.
Mine just broke right now, legit 5 minutes ago and called bmw and they wanted to charge me $500 without labor so I’m sure it would’ve been $600 total out the door, but good video definitely gotta but the part now!
I've looked at a lot of the other videos online and by far this one seems the best. Now I'm going outside to try this myself! Ok, I did the job. It took about an hour. This video was indeed helpful. I ran into a few issues but worked around them well. When I went to test out the unit, I wanted to observe the opposite rear window in that how far down it goes into the door before it stops. Well, behold, I discovered that the left side rear window is now stuck with a bad regulator and won't budge. So once I got it all back together on the right side, confirmed it's working, I am now ordering yet another regulator for left side to do in a few days. At least now I am expert at doing this job!
appreciate the time and effort in putting this together.. I got a quote from BMW for $670... but with your help I got it done with $60. ($10 for the t20 rachet tool). And I showed my boys how to do these small things themselves...that piece was invaluable. Keep it up!
Watched this vid a couple days ago. Thank you for educating folks. Kindness like this is invaluable. My window hadn't been working, but I wasn't ready to fix it. I had a lot to do yesterday. As I was driving my window fell and then fell completely in. I ran over to a spot and the dude had an attitude while quoting me $160 just to open my door up and "diagnose" the issue. Because of you I already knew what the issue was. I went back in after 5 min and took my keys back. went to Pep boys to get tape and pliers, but then remembered the video. While in Pep Boys looking for tape, I noticed one of those suction cups lol. Went back to my whip, had a dewalt screwdriver that happened to have a torx screw adaption and I opened it up, popped the machanism off the window, because it wouldn't pull up, suction cupped it, put the door back together and I will fix it at my convenience because of you. Bam!
Already had all of the outside stuff removed, but thank you so much for the easy to follow, step-by-step demonstration. This was immensely helpful, and I appreciate you. Thank you for struggling with the camera for us. :)
Thank you 🙌🏾 Thank you 🙌🏾 this video was AMAZINGLY helpful! I am a 28yr old female with no mechanical experience at all and i was able 2 complete this by myself in just 2hours. Saved my hundreds as well. My local dealership wanted $560 however i spent $80 on parts & tools and got it done myself. Thank you!
Still relevant. Changed both rear door window regulators today - original ones lasted 12 years, or 122k miles, which is pretty impressive! Now with a set of new ones, I hope to drive another 122 ;-) Thanks for sharing this video, helped a lot, and saved some money, too!
Here's a checklist summary just in case you like to have things written down to work off of. Tools Needed: T-20 10mm socket wrench Phillips Screwdriver Packing/Duct Tape 1) Remove wood trim panel 2) Remove Front of handle trim panel 3) Remove the 3 T-20 screws located under the trim panels. 4) Starting at the part of the door near the hinge and on the lower area, slowly pop each of the tabs out that is holding the door in place. 5) Undo the Wiring for the speaker and power window 6) Pull out the lock rod 7) Undo the door handle cable from the door actuator. 8) Peel back the insulation. It looks like it’s glued to the door with roofing tar but the black stuff isn’t too sticky. Pull insulation off. 9) Roll the window down about ½ way. Position window so catch from window is positioned in the hole of the regulator. 10) Push tab of window catch so it disengages the window from the regulator and slide window back up so it’s closed. There is a circular hole in the glass that you have to push the tab through. 11) Tape window in that position. Tape on the outside or it could tear your window tinting. 12) Undo the wiring from the regulator motor. It has tabs to push to release. 13) Remove the foam block next to regulator by undoing the 2 Phillips screws from it. Pull block out. You have to remove the block so there is enough space to pull the regulator out. 14) Remove the 3 10mm bolts that are holding the regulator in place. 15) Remove the regulator from the door. 16) Put the motor off of the old regulator and attach it to the new regulator. 17) Put regulator back into the door. Lock back into place with the 10mm bolts. I found it easier if you get the top bolt into place first. 18) Lower the window glass back down manually until the circular hole in the glass is over the tab. The tab should snap into place. 19) Plug the motor wire back on. 20) Reassemble the door in reverse order of how you pulled them out. Don’t forget to put the 3 T-20 screws in like I did.
There is another version to how this job goes, I just did the rear passenger on my 330i. And it went like this.....the window was right down and would not budge, even once I had removed the covers and could try to lift it by hand. So that immediately scratches the idea of putting the window in the position where you can easily access the green plastic clip to release it from the glass. I had to undo the three bolts holding the actuator and once it was loose spend quite a bit of time moving it about while trying to access the green clip. It eventually worked, after some considerable time and effort. Ok all good from here, I thought. Put in the new actuator, very easy, but when I lowered the glass into the green holder it would not go down far enough to allow the plastic beak to click into the hole in the glass. After a whole lot more time finagling and head scratching I decided the only way it was going to work was to remove the small rubber seat the glass seats on inside that green holder. Maybe it´s there as an optional adjustment, though I doubt it. It´s made of soft rubber which the glass is presumably meant to push down into. I tried all sorts of things to make that happen but it would not cooperate. Removed it and the glass slotted right in and seems to be working fine. Which is all by way of saying that the version in the video is excellent.....just as long as Sod´s Law doesn´t kick in for you for you!!
Tip: If window is stuck, just cut the cable in front of the window motor to move the window halfway up. Excellent vid. I really liked how clearly you demonstrated how to separate the window from the regulator by depressing the tab.
Regulator broke on e90. Used this video to fix like 3 yrs ago. Regulator broke on other side. Using to once again fix. Awesome video, really appreciate it!!
Very helpful...my window wouldn't go back up while my gf was driving late at night with kids in the car. I used this video to make a late night, early morning repair when I got home from a very long day of work. Much appreciated!!
You just saved me at least $500 dollars man and I can't than you enough. I just finished replacing mine, cost $28 dollars on amazon. Thanks for that last bit of the video too were you show how to code it.
Brilliant video, cheers Jack, only cost me HK$480 (US$61) for the spare part. Your'e a star!. However after re-installing panels etc the window regulator on my BMW 323i 2008 had a memory problem. Tried your way and didnt work, but discovered another way without having to dismantle again......Close all doors, turn on the engine, then hold down the window switch with window in the open position for 17 seconds at least. This will then de-initialise the memory. Now when you try to bring up window it will only go in short bursts, ie no auto up function, but it wont have the problem of going all the way up and dropping a few inches. So to re-initialise memory, hold it in the up position for about 5 seconds.....voila memory reset! Hope this works for others.
Jack, thanks so much for this video! It was very helpful and easy to follow. $25 and 30 min later, new regulator is installed. Dealer and mechanic wanted to charge nearly 12 times as much.
Thanks so much for your detailed video. It took me about an 1: 15 minutes because I took my time and also had to modify the styrofoam block sense my window regulator was not Factory and made a little different. All in all it wasn't a bad job. I spent $25 for the regulator and installed it myself. Not sure how much I saved compared to dealer, but I'm very very happy!
Cheers Jack. Great video. Calm and accurate, right down to the memory reset which worked first time. Took me an hour, the most time consuming bit being taking off the sodding tacky insulation! Cost 35 euros for part so saved a lot of cash. Really appreciate your help.
Thank you so much for the video. I'm now going to buy two regulators because both rear doors broke one day after the other, it's ridiculous. Cheers for the effort on this video.
Thank you sir, you are a genius. I am not a great handy man but changed diver's side rear window in less than 1.5 hours. Passenger side rear window is also giving problems, so I am going to change that one too. My mechanic had quoted $ 350 for one. I purchased 2 regulators from Amazon (Han Sun) for under $ 55.
Thank you for this!! This was so explanatory and detailed, saved me $500. Picked up the part at a local auto parts store for $55 and was able to fix the issue all myself. Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you so much for the video .... It took me about 25 to 35 mins to swap the regulator. The programming was super helpful... thank you Man !!!! God Bless !!!!
Best video on the subject! Especially the detail on how to pop the old window clamp off the glass, reattaching the inner door handle, and resetting the motor memory. I'd already bought the BMW OEM part but will try Dorman the next time. Thanks!
Very helpful video, thank you. One thing not shown in the video that I encountered. Before putting the regulator back into the car, make sure you lower the clip that holds the window to around the midpoint first. The clip on my regulator was at the top so when I tried to put it in I wasn't able to line up the screws.
Thanks for your contribution(s) to the E90 community. Video helped me a lot. I think it is easier to disconnect the door handle cable from the other end.
Thank you very much for posting this. Just followed your instructions and saved myself quite a bit. Dorman regulator has the window working good as new.
Your video was awesome, and saved me a ton of money. Bought the regulator from carparts.com for $27, took about 35 to 40 minutes total to install...thank you so much for your video!
Great! Is good the way you show it how to do it. Easy and straight to the point. Appreciate you share your knowledge! Take care!! Until next video ! ! !
This was one of the most helpful videos that I was able to execute without the hassle of breaking or altering the original set! Thanks for the tutorial.....5stars
Great video! Thank you! Just did mine following your instructions, rear right, same exact process, it all went smooth, took me about 40 min or so. I bought same part from AutoZone $53!
Worked for me except for reprogramming at the end. Had to watch a couple of other videos and took some troubleshooting. Finally worked but I had to close all 4 doors and try a few times.
One of my door windows broke. The window controls button for that window no longer works. I have to use my hand to push the window down or up. The bigger problem is that I can just push the window down with my hand even when locked. Do you think it’s the regulator? Or is the window somehow disconnected from the regulator?
Are u available i had a question about auto up and down, i can not get it to work. I cant determine if its a defective dorman or im not doing relearn right
Thank you for the video, Question for you : E90/06/330i - rear Passenger side window regulator replacement, By some reason, Door handle is not operating and it is totally struck after replacing the window regulators on both the Rear passenger side windows, Please detail let me know how to fix. Thank you.
Wonderful video, worked like a charm. My only problem is now when I roll te window up, it goes back down to half way. I tried the regulator reset a few times but it’s still not working. Any ideas?
I remember buying used E46 regulator for $80 on the forum 10 years ago. I needed one for E90 so I figured around $100 bucks for aftermarket. It was $25 bucks new. I don't know how they make profit off of that. Probably cost them $5 to make?
Yeah I did. I had to tighten the screws that hold the regulator in place and had to wash off the window because some residue from the duck tape that held the window up was screwing it up.
Only thing I didn't catch was why this malfunctions. Like do the cables just get stuck and stop pulling or what, especially since in most cases the motor still works.
Nice video. When you say (to reset window) that it might take a couple of times...Do you mean you may have to do that procedure a couple of times with the switches? Or do you mean you may have to roll window up and down a couple of times for it to learn the memory? My rear window needs to be reset so I appreciate your info on this video. Thanks.
By replacing the window regulator does the warning light go away automatically or will you have to take it to the dealership or local mechanic shop to reset the warning light?
Hey EmerikanESLB I'm not the one made this video and you might've figured this out already but if you were still wondering: I've done this replacement before and the warning light went away automatically :)
This video is excellent. Thank you for your help. One thing though. My e90 is a 2008. Do you think that specific regulator will be compatible or will I have to do a search?
The 328is dont have speakers in the back? My xi does shit i ordered a new regulator cost me 140 without a motor so ill see if i need a new motor or not. Btw great video alot more in depth than all the others
thanks, my light module went bad so I had no windows headlights turn signals dash lights, one headlights out one tail lights out, well this morning I accidentally held the key fob button down and two rear windows went all the way down. no way to get them up.

Awesome. Glad it helped. That's saving some money for sure!
Wow, they wanted that much? :o I wonder how much I have saved on my e36 so far by doing the work myself. :D probably thousands. :D
Mine just broke right now, legit 5 minutes ago and called bmw and they wanted to charge me $500 without labor so I’m sure it would’ve been $600 total out the door, but good video definitely gotta but the part now!
Thanks! I just bought my bmw and the next day it broke. I took it apart just to raise the window.

What if my window is completely down? And it's not going up automatically what do I do?
will this be the same on a 2005 320i?
Yeah thanks man, I just did it today too, really helped.

Art Ruiz glad it helped. Thanks
What size socket did you use to remove the panel buddy?
Jack Meyers hey man mine won’t go back up. It worked for a few moments then locked.
Cheers Jack. Great video. Calm and accurate, right down to the memory reset which worked first time. Took me an hour, the most time consuming bit being taking off the sodding tacky insulation! Cost 35 euros for part so saved a lot of cash. Really appreciate your help.
I was able to replace mine with zero issues, thanks to your video.
Thank you so much for the video.
I'm now going to buy two regulators because both rear doors broke one day after the other, it's ridiculous.

did this baby this morning and saved $450.00 bucks. thanks
Now on to my second regulator replacement after successfully doing my first. This video has helped a lot man, thank you.
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much for the video .... It took me about 25 to 35 mins to swap the regulator. The programming was super helpful... thank you Man !!!! God Bless !!!!
Best video on the subject! Especially the detail on how to pop the old window clamp off the glass, reattaching the inner door handle, and resetting the motor memory. I'd already bought the BMW OEM part but will try Dorman the next time. Thanks!
Thank you!! I just finished replacing my window regulator. Finished the job in record time thanks to this video.
Very helpful video, thank you. One thing not shown in the video that I encountered. Before putting the regulator back into the car, make sure you lower the clip that holds the window to around the midpoint first. The clip on my regulator was at the top so when I tried to put it in I wasn't able to line up the screws.
Thanks for your contribution(s) to the E90 community. Video helped me a lot.
I think it is easier to disconnect the door handle cable from the other end.
Thank you very much for posting this. Just followed your instructions and saved myself quite a bit. Dorman regulator has the window working good as new.
Thanks for the video. I got it done with minimal effort. Hardest part was snapping the door cover back on.😅
Thanks for the video, straight forward and helped me get the job done in about 1 hour.
Going to tackle this on my E90 M3 next week when part comes in. Thanks for the info.
I've used this video like 3 times now, huge help!!
Great video, much appreciated. Did this for $ 59.00 part, and next one will be a breeze !
Thanks !
Your video was awesome, and saved me a ton of money. Bought the regulator from carparts.com for $27, took about 35 to 40 minutes total to install...thank you so much for your video!
Great video ,i fix my bmw 335i in about 2 hours, save me lot of money doing it myself, thanks..
I'm about to do this on my 2007 BMW 328i. Fingers crossed. You made it look so easy Jack. I subscribed to your videos...Thanks!
Thanks sir, followed your and 2 other guides here and just changed mine, no issues. Big thumbs up !
Best video, clear and easy to follow Thanks
John fetin thank you
I’ve used this video to replace both my rear regulators in the last 4 months. Thanks so much for putting it out there!
The best and most complete on TH-cam as of today to the best of my knowledge . Included programming!! Great instructional
What’s the Dorman Part No.?
This video has helped twice already. Thank you!
Great! Is good the way you show it how to do it. Easy and straight to the point. Appreciate you share your knowledge! Take care!! Until next video ! ! !
Is there anyway I can get the warning light and chine to stop going off till I get time to get this fixed ???
This was one of the most helpful videos that I was able to execute without the hassle of breaking or altering the original set! Thanks for the tutorial.....5stars
Thanks for the awesome video Jack. Watched a bunch of them here on TH-cam but your vid is the best one in my opinion! You just saved me $$$! 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for this video , you dont know how much it helped me here in Argentina !!
Thanks Jack. Great video. Make owning a BMW affordable.
Great video! Thank you! Just did mine following your instructions, rear right, same exact process, it all went smooth, took me about 40 min or so. I bought same part from AutoZone $53!
this was fantastic, thanks for the great and easy to follow video!
Worked for me except for reprogramming at the end. Had to watch a couple of other videos and took some troubleshooting. Finally worked but I had to close all 4 doors and try a few times.
One of my door windows broke. The window controls button for that window no longer works. I have to use my hand to push the window down or up. The bigger problem is that I can just push the window down with my hand even when locked. Do you think it’s the regulator? Or is the window somehow disconnected from the regulator?
This was very helpful. I was able to get in there and get the window up. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Just saved a ton of money and did mine with your video!
Superb video. It really helped me to fix my bmw 320d rear window regulator. Thanks a lot.

Just want to say thank you for your video, it help me out a lot.
Hey Jack, that last part the programming, is there anything I'm supposed to hear?
would this be the same for a 320i e90?
Thank you so much! You saved me a lot of money with this video
Thanks so much. I was able to fix my window on my own.
Thank you for uploading this, saved me $300
Is dorman a genuine or OEM manufacturer? Which one did you get?
Thank you, very helpful to see it done before doing it.
Very nice video thank you very much for your video, you explain very easy. 👏👏👍
great video! You saved me 300 dollars
My window doesn't go up its all the way down, does it affect anything? Can I still follow this exact same process?
What size screws did you use to attach the motor to the aftermarket window regulator sadly the one I ordered didn't come with one.
Nice video. Well done with one hand!
Good video! Reprogram when installed. Thanks!!!
When installing the new regulator, my window doesn't go down to snap in place. it seems to be stuck in its up position. any ideas?
Thanks Jack! Excellent video, great help.
Well shit, how to you wind the cable around??
Great Video helped with diagnosis and made fitting the new one super easy :-)
Wonderful video, worked like a charm. My only problem is now when I roll te window up, it goes back down to half way.
I tried the regulator reset a few times but it’s still not working. Any ideas?
Thank you so much for this video, Upload more soon. Good work Bro
I remember buying used E46 regulator for $80 on the forum 10 years ago. I needed one for E90 so I figured around $100 bucks for aftermarket. It was $25 bucks new. I don't know how they make profit off of that. Probably cost them $5 to make?
Followed everything perfectly and got the window to roll all the way back down, but it wont go back up. Do you think it’s the motor?
Yeah I did. I had to tighten the screws that hold the regulator in place and had to wash off the window because some residue from the duck tape that held the window up was screwing it up.
Worked like a champ! Thanks
I did this and now my door handle on the inside is stuck in the open position, did I break something!?
Thanks buddy you save me a lot!!!
Only thing I didn't catch was why this malfunctions. Like do the cables just get stuck and stop pulling or what, especially since in most cases the motor still works.
Nice video. When you say (to reset window) that it might take a couple of times...Do you mean you may have to do that procedure a couple of times with the switches? Or do you mean you may have to roll window up and down a couple of times for it to learn the memory? My rear window needs to be reset so I appreciate your info on this video. Thanks.
Nice video right now im changue my regulator thanks you
By replacing the window regulator does the warning light go away automatically or will you have to take it to the dealership or local mechanic shop to reset the warning light?
Hey EmerikanESLB I'm not the one made this video and you might've figured this out already but if you were still wondering: I've done this replacement before and the warning light went away automatically :)
This video is excellent. Thank you for your help. One thing though. My e90 is a 2008. Do you think that specific regulator will be compatible or will I have to do a search?
The 328is dont have speakers in the back? My xi does shit i ordered a new regulator cost me 140 without a motor so ill see if i need a new motor or not. Btw great video alot more in depth than all the others
Hey bro where did buy your window regulator ?
