Default I have another window regulator question!

My boyfriend told me I need to replace everything in my door panel for my window except for the motor. What exactly do I need? I want to know myself and I hate asking him, haha!

I recently did this same job on my car. When I went to the dealer I had the part numbers I needed and everything. They didn't even need them, all I had to say was my window in my ti was acting up and they knew exactly what I needed. Apparently they go through those things like water. Good luck!

I'm definitely not going through the dealer for parts, way too expensive. But my boyfriend was telling me something about I need tracks for the window or something??

The tracks are attached to you window. You may want to check the verticle tracks inside the door to see if they are not bent. But all you need is a new window regulator and clips. I'm going through this right now. Just waiting for my window regulator to come in. I got my clips from pelicanparts i bought a lot incase i need some in the future.

I think I only payed 16.50 after my BMW CCA discount. I didn't replace the tracks though. Funny thing, that all happened last week and last night the same window I fixed slipped out of the track again. I'm going to go out and look at it now.

it's your verticle tracks then. Check out Jess's write up on the window fix.

My passenger side window fell in Friday at work. This was the 2nd time for that side, the driver's side fell in once before.

I just put everything back in place, didn't replace anything but new grease. Buying a new regulator would only be necessary if the original one got so bent up.

Thanks, I just read the write up and I think I'll try that next weekend. For now I just got the window up and running again but I don't want to use it so I disconnected it.
