Project E24 - BMW 633csi Restoration - Episode 4 - Repairing $1000 Window Motors

It's time to fix the front windows. Both front windows were not working. After testing for power to the motor from the switch, I confirmed that the Connector at the window motor was getting 12 volts. After attempting to direct-power the window motor, still had no luck. After seeing new window motors are around $500 EACH, I decided to take a shot at disassembling them and cleaning the contacts on the electric motor and greasing up the gears.

I require some assistance if you could please help ..I recently bought a 1977 633 CSI BMW and the passenger door mirror did not work electrically and when i removed the mirror it just had bare wires with no plug so i bought a replacement mirror which has the plug but i am struggling to find out how to pass the plug inside the door to connect to the other connection as the old mirror pulled out easily because it was just bare wires

[@lucidwerkz]

I didn't have to remove the mirrors on mine, there may be a video or forum post out there on how to do it. I no longer have the 633 unfortunately. =[

Good work ruined by the loud and totally unnecessary music
