Question

The passenger door window on my 1995 325ic doesn't respond to the control switch, "down" is O.K. but when "up" is operated the noise indicates a disconnect between the motor and the gear segment on the cross arm. The striker switch is still working but there is a gap between the top of the glass and the seal in the closed position. Is there a quick fix?

Hello,

 

The only quick fix that you could try is to guide the glass up with your hand to "help" the glass up. Sometimes even when the scissor type regulator is partially disengaged it will hold the bottom of the glass in place. This would be the only quick type of fix.

 

The only real fix for this is to replace the failing regulator. This is held by rivets and they need to be drilled out so it would be better to have the dealer perform the replacement and to lube the tracks.

 

This is what it looks like inside the door so you get an idea of what is going on.

Unscrew screw (2). Grind off rivets (1). Installation: Vacuum out borings in front door. Replace ground-off rivets with:
- M6 x 10 screw
- with washer dia. 6.4 mm
- and nut

 

Hopefully the help trick works, otherwise replacement will most likely be needed. Please accept, good luck, and thank you.
