You just saved me so much money and I have new tools. BMW quoted me $1700 to do this. They marked up the parts by over 1100% and labor at $450/hr.

[@inspirationalquotesos5228]

I changed the Window regulator and motor on my BMW E90 after watching this video. Very helpful video.

[@CrashOut328i]

Got regulator from carparts for $25. Took an hour, could be done in less time. Saved hundreds. 2011 328i

[@Costiize]

Great video. I was going to visit a mechanic but after watching this, I’m confident I can repair it on my own.

[@juliehammak]

This was a great easy to follow video. I am a 54 year old woman and I was able to finish in a couple hours. I had to keep stopping to go find all right tools or something that would work. The hardest part for me was getting the door panel clipped back in. Most of the clips were already busted off so I just made due. .

[@2carpros]

Nice work! Thank you for watching!

[@mandynguyen7414]

We really appreciate the tutorial. You make it real easy for us to follow and I was able to replace the regulator in an hour and saved a ton of money. I look forward to learning a lot more repair tips from you.

[@Strawberriesandbooze_]

Great video, used my dad's tools and did this for our neighbor as a 16 year old girl 😁

[@2carpros]

That is awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@fairyuli]

Thank you so much for the demo. I just replaced my 2010 328i x drive left rear window by following your video. It took me about an hour to do the job and it saved me 500 bucks. You are awesome🎉👍👍👍

[@2carpros]

Great to hear!

[@MaggieKlawunn]

This video was fantastic, I have never fixed anything on my car by myself until I replaced the regulator on my window, saved me probably close to $800 in car maintenance/parts fees, I was quoted $500 just to look at my door

[@2carpros]

Nice work! Great savings! Thanks for watching!

[@KamD450]

Mines just popped today right before I move out of state. Guess I’ll get it done once I get settled. Liked and subscribed!

[@jamesbeck9404]

Awesome video. I did the window on the other side of my car after watching a different video, that didnt tell you to clip the wire or how to get the glass off the regulator. Huge pain in the ass that made me not want to do it again when the regulator went on the other side. After watching this video. I have the regulator out in under 30 min, with no problems at all. I dont usually leave comments, but I felt this deserved some recognition after helping me so much. Thank you

[@bobadams9432]

Great video. Super clear explanation and great to see everything close up. I did this job this morning. Thank you!

[@2carpros]

Great job!

[@RDeArmas7]

Thank you! Great video! Clear instructions and able to see what you were doing. I had the same trouble getting the window back up until I saw you clip the wire on the old regulator.

[@2carpros]

Glad it helped!

[@bbinder66]

Excellent video. Thanks. I was able to follow it easily and replace my driver rear door regulator in my 2011 328i sedan. I do have one tip to suggest. I used a window scraper with about a 4 inch razor blade on it to go around foam to remove it. It came off perfectly, and there was plenty of adhesive on both door and foam side to easily reinstall for an immediate stick. It wasn't messy at all. Just be careful around the 2 areas where the wiring is.

[@2carpros]

Great to hear!

[@arnomeyer9712]

Thanks for this detailed video! I was able to replace the regulator in my BMW in about an hour. Saved about $200 doing it myself.

[@2carpros]

Nice work!

[@nd603]

Great video. I was able to fix my rear driver window in an hour today. Saved hundreds.

[@2carpros]

Excellent!

[@CrashOut328i]

Did both rear doors, saved hundreds. 2011 bmw 328i

[@krisperkreme6021]

Thank you so much!!! This is the best tutorial for changing the regulator. Snapping off the cable was a great tip.

[@2carpros]

Great to hear! Thanks for watching!

[@ccosta92630]

Fantastic video. I got my regulator out and will be ordering a new one. Thank you!

[@elshogi]

You are great, Thank you. I got mine fixed following you

[@2carpros]

Great!

[@Don008Ramon]

did left door last year, now right door went out. decided to remind myself how to do it, thx for great video

[@CentinoSimon-en5yx]

Thank you so much. I fixed mine, too.

[@jcaashby3]

I just ordered my own parts and will do it myself. A friend of mine wants to charge 200 for labor and another $160 for the regulator to do the front passenger side. I was about to let him do it but figured let me see what needs to be done. After watching a a few videos the hardest thing to do is getting the old one out and the new one in. Getting to it is simply AF.

[@chrismcgee9962]

Thank you for this video! This made replacing my regulator a breeze!!!!

[@senorbofatv2783]

Awesome video man bravo 🙏👏 watched this video and took every step that you took and everything turned out great thank you!

[@datkiddjophat4290]

My right one loose it only drop due bumpy road.. but I’ve ordered a new regulator but thank you bro. Sending thanks from the U.S. Virgin Islands 🇻🇮 st. Thomas. I’m gonna buy three more to change the rest doors so I don’t gotta do it later down

[@2carpros]

Nice work!

[@summergabriel7605]

Thank you so much for the video! This helped me so much 😊…I did it all by myself!

[@summergabriel7605]

I also saved $300!!!!

Thank you so much for your video. 😅😅😅😅😅

[@divincenzofitness2093]

The original screws don’t fit in the new motor, what screws would I need to fit??

[@HatsuneCR]

So helpful, thank you

[@2carpros]

You're so welcome!

[@quentinhays3190]

I’m having a issue with the motor, I just got a new one shipped to me and I just installed it and went to plug in the connection and flip the switch but the motor gets no power and I can’t figure out why

[@themonkeyboydanny5384]

How do you know your motor is still good?

[@DashBrawlStars1]

Will the glass stay all the way up if I push it up and leave regulator there? So I can keep my window up til the part comes in?

[@timothydowd1031]

Thanks!

[@MrHienz57]

Very helpful, just replaced mine!

[@2carpros]

Glad it helped!

[@rickmarquez9594]

You need the foam part or else water gets in your car

[@maikelfernandez9484]

Great video. Thanks!

[@2carpros]

You're welcome!

[@rileywhite8003]

Anyone having an issue where when you roll it all the way up and hold it down it bounces back and rests in the middle?

[@luisurbina7533]

Excelente Thanks

[@TheDquirke]

$285 + sales tax is what local garage wanted for labor alone to replace one, With clear instructions I completed myself in no time.

[@2carpros]

Nice work! Thanks for watching!

[@rauljimenez8169]

How mucho is that ???

[@madrabbit9007]

I've done this job on several vehicles. The hardest was on my 79 Firebird (hand crank) and it involved chiseling rivets off and a trip to the body shop to have them adjust the glass for me. The easiest was my 04 Avalanche. When you open the box of parts it looks scary but the reality is the hardest part of the job was removing the door panel. The only special tool needed is duct tape to hold the glass up while you work if you don't have a helper.

[@2carpros]

My 67 Camaro is pretty tough too, very similar car. Haha my favorite special tool! Thanks for watching!

[@Vhuimo]

Easy 👍 Thank you

[@derekgilger6243]

You really should put that black cover that keeps moisture from getting on the door panel and leaking inside car . If you take a razor blade and cut the black rubber sticky stuff all the way around you're able to put the door protector back on . Also you should work with more care. you can't just go breaking clips and plastic on high end cars . Because the Germans don't work that way.

[@2carpros]

Couple of things. 1. The RTV was a mess and I'm not spending a ton of time cleaning it up. You can if you want to. 2. The door protector is largely unneeded. It has weather stripping around the glass and door. Door protector is a back up at best. 3. Plastic clips become brittle and break no matter the level of care. 4. This car is 15 years old, it is hardly considered high end at this point. 5. I don't care how people work regardless of location. 6. Thanks for watching!

[@derekgilger6243]

@@2carpros it's not rtv it is black window butil

[@yeeyeeellyette3824]

so what if the motor doesn’t run when you test it?

[@2carpros]

Then you most likely have a blown fuse or bad relay or the new motor is bad right out of the box. Thanks for watching!

[@Midw3stSnip3r]

Mine worked from the drivers switch but not from the rear door

[@Mando626_]

Thank you :)

[@2carpros]

No problem 😊

[@ohmbasa]

I can't find any videos about just replacing the window pane. Could somebody point me in the right direction? There are a lot of videos about the regulator and motor but not about replacing the glass itself and I need you at because when the window fell it cracked.

[@nautijoshy]

Follow this video all the way til they get the window separated from the regulator. Then the window can be tilted forward or backward and pulled up out of the frame. Install the new window doing the same thing in reverse.

[@alistolinc]

Exelent video

[@2carpros]

Thanks for watching!

[@benroehrich5412]

ALWAYS pin the window. Tape, suction cups, hell...even a wedge, if you value keeping all your fingers and/or not having to buy the customer some new glass...PIN THE WIDOW. Also, not silicone but putty, holding the sound deadening foam. Completely reusable according to BMW....as long as you don't rip the foam to pieces. Informative, albeit, clunky vid.

[@WalkingwithChristslove]

Black stuff is not silicone 😂 it's butyl tape😊 reusable always unless you nerf it up.

[@2carpros]

It was goopy like silicone haha thanks for watching!

[@Urmomsabitch4]

How can you tell if the motor is good ?

[@2carpros]

Take it off the regulator and use the window switch to see if it moves. Thanks for watching!

[@natbaby_]

Welp tried doing this for my driver window now I have my whole door apart thinking it’s easy & can’t remove the glass 🫠😂

[@elnuevoyo]

Great Video Thank you so much , saved me about $200 🦾

[@2carpros]

Great to hear!
