I found a set on ebay for E36 but application chart states that it does not fit ti's. Are sliders different on ti, or are they all the same? | | | 06-01-2013, 01:51 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Ft Defiance, AZ Posts: 686 | should be the same __________________ 1999 BMW 318ti 2005 MINI Cooper S | | | 06-03-2013, 03:53 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2013 Location: Morgan Utah Posts: 214 | I just did a temp fix on our car yesterday, I went to my storage place to get the regulator, motor and sliders only to find no sliders, I must of left them on the M3 windows I traded off for some labor The M3 regulators do not fit, motors were the same but opposite side of the car... The car I bought is in very fine shape except a few dings and scratches in the paint so I was surprised to find the regulator arms bent, slider bent, motor mounts cracked. Seems some hack got his grubby hands in there to fix a broken window or something. I had to repair the regulator, replace the motor and reuse the slider until I can find some which are not on Pelican parts or listed on realoem.com I am sure they are the same part, I would rather put new ones in so I do not have to open it up again but leaving the panel off until I find a gray interior to replace the black one. I like the look of the black but with the sliding soft top it will just be to hot. If you find a source, other than the dealer, for the sliders please post it up, as I will as well.

I went to my local Pick & Pull and found some off a 93 325i and they worked perfectly. | | | 06-04-2013, 06:49 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 | The white plastic sliders are used on all e36's, interchangeable (also were the same in my e34 touring). As for the window regulators, the ti ones are the same as e36 sedans. Makes finding used replacements much easier. __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

I had to take mine out to replace it, swapped the motor, then realized it would not fit....then had to repair the bent up original, got it working perfectly except the slider was worn out from the regulator being bent up. Absolutely zero major body damage on this car, it had to have been jacked up by some hack replacing a broken window, I assumed but no evident of glass, really odd. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
