Check Rear Window Regulator Malfunction

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Power window motor

To check the malfunction of the rear door window regulator, first remove the door panel. Once the soundproofing cover is removed, you can inspect the window regulator mechanism and its motor. Generally, the most common issue is the breakage of the sliding shoes of the window mechanism, to which the glass is attached with pressure pins and a safety clip. Fortunately, you can purchase just the shoes as a repair kit instead of the complete mechanism.
