Really good guide, helped a lot. Mine go up at weird angles, bought a regulator as well, now i know how to adjust it. Thank you!

[@ovidiuschley3346]

Great work at the electric window door . Thank you for sharing !🙂👍

[@koponya1001]

Thank you so much for the video, it worked just fine to me! I had the same issues at my front left door.

[@FeeeshEP3]

I had both sides not working and just cleaning and re lube of the mechanism got them working again flawlessly.

[@name7150]

Best video out there for e36 windows being shitty

[@BlakesGarage]

Thanks man I appreciate it 👍🏼👍🏼🏁🏁🏁

[@name7150]

@@BlakesGarage I appreciate you!! Wish I seen this video a few weeks ago though when I had to daily my e36 in the winter windows down😂

[@oldwortex5818]

Dude, you are genius. My window regulator motor was bad, or so I thought. It would not move up, and no door open drop. So I bought a new motor. Put it in, same exact thing. It moved like 2 inches. I had no idea what was wrong. That door "switch" in the door striker, what a heck is that for ? I bet that is my issue as well. I took out and put in the motor/regulator 8 time so far, using a new motor old regulator, old motor old regulator, a tested and supposedly good working regulator with old motor and new motor and same crap. I mangled that out of frustration so I'm back with my old reg and new motor. If it does not work, I am selling the car. Let somebody else have a stroke from this. I am going to give it one more try with that switch. Why would it have a switch in a door lock striker though ? What a heck is it doing there besides frustrating the heck out of owners ? Thank you ! AND IT WORKED !!!! What a nightmare saga for 3 weeks, so much time... the switch had to be pushed once and all works. Thank you Dude !

[@BlakesGarage]

It’s because it lowers and raises the window every time you open the door. So make sure that switch is actually working. I literally just melted some extra zip tie on mine to make it bigger and that fix mine because it’s usually not to switch it’s just literally worn down on the knob

[@oldwortex5818]

@@BlakesGarage Yeah, I understand but why was my regulator not working unless I press that switch once ? I took it apart 8 times, bought and threw out a good used unit and all this because of that switch. Now it works. Thank you for the help , I really really appreciate it.

[@BlakesGarage]

@@oldwortex5818 it sets limits. Using the switch resets that after you let it go up bunch of times

[@nenadkalpakovic6257]

@@BlakesGarage my e36 cupe want roll down or up windows when doors are closed, if you have any idea why is that so please hit me back, i think that switches on doors are working properly because every time i close or open the doors windows moves as it should be, thanks so much, and that front seats was really beautyfull

[@boogierilleybugautorepair3416]

Going to have to do mine just picked up another E36 convertible super nice. Clean interior its White interior almost got my truck runing too

[@BlakesGarage]

Hell yeah nice 👍🏼 yeah I love the dove 🕊 interior in this E36 it looks amazing and it’s super clean now.

[@eddiesheeran5791]

Great video thank you

[@BlakesGarage]

Glad I could help.

[@rustyshackleford516]

Blake in the future you should use rivnuts so you can easily replace and service the regulator in the future. Sucks us bmw owners have to plan for future failure lol

[@RealKingAl]

Mine won’t snap into the plastic piece. One side does but it falls out even after replacing and lubing it several times

[@BlakesGarage]

You replaced the plastic guide piece? That’s probably the bad part I’d guess or the regulator is bent.

[@fredriksjoqvist6092]

Thanks! You helped me alot

[@BlakesGarage]

No problem glad I could help.

[@Nemesis-ym3ed]

What size rivit did u use?!

[@EnriqueLopez-hb5jn]

Awesome information.👆👌👍☝🏽👏🏿

[@BlakesGarage]

Glad I could help

[@youtupe80]

mine is not working is it necessary to buy the whole thing or must i just buy the motor im so confused.

[@bimmer6768]

Where is the power window limit switches? I can't find any.

[@anthonyramirez9153]

Not even going to lie I pushed the button inside the door lock and my windows just worked randomly dope

[@allangreene15ag]

dude I just did the same shit let’s gooooo

[@Jay-dx9fi]

Need some dry lube on that rail. motor sounds like its struggling hard

[@SmudgyContent]

Look at that majestic beard 🧔

[@aadvb6664]

Nice video it was helpful, thanks! But wow 175 bucks?? I paid 59 euro's (sans the motor) but that was a brand NEW BMW part... Bought it at a bmw indie.

[@Zac_LDN]

My window does go up and down but stops about half an inch from closing. Is there a temporary way of fully closing it until I replace my regulator? I’ve tried pulling the window up but it’s just stuck.

[@BlakesGarage]

I think I showed in this video but use the door switch. That’s what is misaligned for you. Your limits are off.

[@eloelo3207]

Does some1 knows that window regulator from bmw z3 can be use for e36 coupé?

[@julioflores2502]

My regulator goes too high when I installed it, it goes up to far so you hear like a crunch noise in the window, is there a way to adjust that?

[@ahmadkataya]

I know it is a late response but yeah for sure you can adjust it and it is too easy i believe

[@SmudgyContent]

It’s like the old ford crown vics here that’s crazy hey

[@Serge2000ca]

👏👏👏

[@thegreatpatsy]

Great video but those head cams are horrible. I got vertigo halfway through!

[@SmudgyContent]

Question, “ does your turn signals still work?”

[@BlakesGarage]

Yeah lol
