Thank-you so so much. I have been trying to initialize my window for months. Again thank-you.

Glad I could help!

[@mojorocketman]

Wow your instructions worked exactly as you said! I used a timer on my phone so 17 seconds is crucial. Thanks!

[@crashman1963]

Glad it helped!

Thank you very much this video saved me who knows how much at the dealership. Just cost of a regulator and 2 hrs of my time :) if you dont get the timing right the window will not go up. I had to shut the car down wait a second and start again. The second time I used a stopwatch, at 16.90 seconds tell yourself to pull up on the switch. If you got it right the window will go up in a half second and hold at the top for .5 seconds and hold again at the bottom for .5 and then back to the top and your done.

Extremely useful video. Thanks. How to fix a loose button for the main window controller

Read description please

Do the window program with the car on. We did it with only key on and it didn’t work. The time we tried it with car on, worked easily

[@crashman1963]

thanks for advice!

[@fernandomenjivar2418]

I’ve been trying with ista and didn’t work until I count the 17 seconds with a stop watch, appreciate your help.

[@crashman1963]

yes the timing is key! glad you got it sorted

[@nikkory]

How did you get ista, I've been looking everywhere 😅

[@arbabkhan3499]

Is the car start or only switch is on?

[@guessnehaj]

What about if my switch works oposite will it work if i try role down the widnow an lif the switch for 17 seconds than press down. Will it lift its self?

[@crashman1963]

what the heck?

[@Rishi8383]

[@bryanbivens8624]

Hello, you can get these at Harbor freight, they are called an E socket set. E12 or a reverse Torx

[@juancastaneda9844]

Pain in the ass reinstalling the door panel back on 😅.

[@crashman1963]

not too bad if you take your time and align everything, the second time was much easier thanks for watching

Skipping the actual removal process makes the video useless. We all know the plastic pulley is the culprit.

[@crashman1963]

The key elements of this video show you better just order the part. Sadly because the most critical part is plastic. the initialization of the window once the repair has been made, tools, and a very simple repair. Figured anybody trying this repair was fairly capable to remove the mechanism, very straightforward removal, sorry. plastic is exactly the culprit you are correct. We all know why BMW throws in a critical plastic part, metal would last way too long, brilliant engineering but let's use some plastic parts! That way the car falls apart at 100,000 miles like clockwork. Designed obsolescence, thank you, BMW. Sorry, just my 2 cents.
