BMW E90 Rear Window Regulator DIY

[@scotthanks6937]

When fitting a new window regulator you just have to wind it right up, then hold switch in the up position for a couple of seconds and then it resets itself.

Typical 50skid- Not even two minutes in and already sharing a tool that's gonna make our lives easier. Would you mind dropping a link to that adapter + torx set? My most used tools are the Grey Pneumatic duo sockets you showed in the last tool bag video years ago, and the Bob Smith Instaset super glue has repaired countless things back to brand new. It doesn't get said enough- Thank you!

Thanks for another good E90 video. Helped me replace mine. Just had this exact thing go out on mine recently - Rear passenger side regulator just like yours. This video helped especially because I wasn't aware that that little handle plastic/leather covered piece popped off. Was good to know exactly what bolt/screw sizes were there too - T20 and 10mm. I also swapped out my dead trunk struts at the same time. Was possibly the easiest and fasts BMW part replacement I've ever done. New ones are cheap too.

I think the way that works is if the door is open the auto up and down doesn't work. It's that way on my e53. On my E85 to activate it you roll it all the way down and hold the switch for like 30 seconds and then do the same going up. Maybe on the slow window you could lubricate the rubber track at slides in.

Just a short remark on the hall sensors: "High" and "low" only refers to the output signal of the sensors and won't correspond to the actual position of the window, they're just used for motion sensing.

[@arucano]

use the up switch and hold for 10 seconds after you reach the top, then do the same for down and that resets the calibration on the window.

Great video, Jason. Thanks for sharing.

Hey 50s do you happen to have a junkyard tool cart I've seen a few cool ones I kind of want to build one or see you build one be interesting find the Pick-n-Pull is so relaxing we have one of the best in the state luckily I'm sure you have pretty good ones down there too in Southern California I say yes a new pick and pull bag load out video would be do

[@seasonedtoker]

Btw front face of the cup holders can be transferred with no problem.

[@jhncvngh]

Yes MR JAson please show us whatyou keep in your tools sack for the junk yard

[@ClevyTR6]

In have same job to do currently. Good timing ! 06 325XIT 6spd manual.

[@alphonsogee]

Do you have a video on checking driver side window issues on a 740iL?

[@datkiddjophat4290]

Im in the U.S. virgin islands 🇻🇮 st. Thomas. Thank you for the shared knowledge.

[@Nitrous8]

@50sKID amazing vedio as always.. I wonder if I could get a second opinion on this loud engine/fan noise I'm having on my e53

[@207ayates]

Good afternoon, what’s that attachment you had on the socket to use the hex bits? Thanks

[@masscomnet]

What, wood and a big random strip of rubber isn't normally found inside your door? It is in mine . .. I'm sure of it.

[@yanivhag2746]

As always educational thanks, 50skid can you please make video on Launch X-431 Pro 3S and explain the advantages using it from INPA ISTA+ MHD scanners(i own 135i n54)?

[@bernardolopez2770]

👍 thanks for sharing!

[@mry82]

Need to look and see if you have an e46 DIY for a front regulator... :)

[@50sKid]

Not yet but it’ll be very similar. The key points are the same. The glass clips in. That’s the important info. I’ll try to do a video on the front even though I don’t need to replace it

[@mry82]

@@50sKid Thanks!

[@kingbolen_official]

Good DIY video.

[@henrylj2660]

I know this is a random question but have you ever put a turbo on a e46? My main question is would adding a turbo increase fuel economy on our engines.

[@atreehouseofpancakes]

If you tuned it for mpg instead of power then sure.. but why

[@michaelblacktree]

On my car, they wedged a piece of PVC pipe in the door to hold the window up. All that work, to avoid replacing a $20 regulator. 🙄

[@datkiddjophat4290]

😂

[@seasonedtoker]

If you are ever in need of that butyl glue and don't want to pay a million, go to a professional building suppliers or contractors (concrete guys for example), they have the same stuff in caulking gun cartridges format! You don't have to buy the OEM stuff that comes in wax paper and in ridiculously small amounts

[@betatester2560]

if only the front of the e46 was so easy

[@VNEMUS]

I thought the same thing! Of all the window regulators I've done over the years, e46 coupe doors were probably the most challenging for me.

[@xcuber123]

I don't even own an e90 xD

[@onkelmicke9670]

Me neither. I just rather look at someone else's misery than get to work on my own crap.

[@persistencewins]

Yo it’s a matter of resetting it.

[@johnboutsikos6049]

It's called window initialization.. can be done directly from switch ..but buy the tool first

[@mustangj0hn]

Huh huh huh, he said "length" !!!

[@Bakibaga]

Hello 50s k please you help me with fuel injectors for my BMW e46 328 MS43

[@twinturbo1926]

lol you need to wear a do-rag and rubber gloves to do this job?

[@johnboutsikos6049]

When refiting the vapor barrier you need to renew the butyl otherwise the barrier won't stay sealed against the metal and you will have a nice water leak ...oops 40 years on BMW.
