BMW Repair: bmw z3 window regulator, bmw z3 1997, bmw z3


Question
Hi Ewan,
happy new year to you.
I need to replace the window regulator on my wifes bmw z3 1997  1.9 roadster ,can you give me any tips and advice on doing this? kind regards andy

Answer
Andy, Note the relation of the height of the window in respect to the front window seal. Lube the upper door panel channel when trying to reinstall door panel. Don't tear the vapor barrier, replace it if you do. Don't have the airbag disconnected if you need to move the window with the key on. Check window operation before installing the door panel.
