This guide briefly outlines the steps necessary to remove and replace the rear side window of the BMW 3 Series. First, open the rear door and begin removing the door panel by unscrewing all the fastening screws and disconnecting the power connector for the window switch; then, release the window regulator mechanism by unscrewing the bracket screws to lift the glass and remove it, as shown in the video.
