Instructions for Removing the Window Regulator Mechanism

Model: BMW X5 E53 - Years 1999-2006
Part: Power window motor

To remove the window regulator mechanism, first remove the door panel: there are some mounting screws and clips along the edges. Before completely removing it, disconnect the various connectors and the lock cable. It may be helpful to detach the switch panel with the window controls and leave it connected to operate the glass being removed. Once the panel is off, also peel back the soundproofing material, lower the glass to about halfway to access the clips securing the glass; then remove the glass by pulling it upward, disconnect the power connector for the window motor, unscrew the mounting pins of the window regulator mechanism, and extract it from its location along with the motor.
