Replacement of Front Window Regulator Motor
Model: BMW Serie 3
E46
- Years 1998-2006
Damage to the sliding pads of the window regulator system requires replacement of the entire system.
Using a small plastic lever, remove the rectangular cap located in front of the internal handle and those positioned just below the armrest. Then, unscrew the screws located under the caps just removed. With the same plastic lever, detach the trim of the panel and unscrew the other two screws present. At this point, release the pressure clips along the edges of the panel and pull it upward to detach it from the weatherstrip; then disconnect the opening cable and the connectors for the speakers and remove the panel. Next, unscrew the screws securing the side airbag: to disconnect the airbag detonator connector, you must first lift the safety latch. Then peel off the sound-absorbing panel and remove it. Lower the window until the glass mounting pins align with the access holes in the door. Loosen the glass mounting pins and remove the glass. Disconnect the connector attached to the window regulator motor and unscrew all the mounting pins of the window lift system and remove it from the door. Then, detach the motor from the old window lift system and attach it to the new one, which can then be installed in the door and secured with the corresponding pins. Reconnect the connector to the motor and position the glass mounting pins as done previously; then insert the glass into the guides and tighten the mounting pins; reconnect the connectors and reassemble everything that was previously removed.
