How to Adjust the Driver Side Window

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Side window

I will explain how to adjust your car's driver side window. Remove the door panel to access the window regulator mechanism; this will ensure that it closes properly and seals against the weatherstripping in the future. In front of you, you will find various slots (holes) where you can see two supports holding your window; now, the goal is to intercept them halfway up the door so you can see the bolts that hold everything in place. Take a wrench and start loosening the bolts slightly. Now, with careful observation, try to align your window as precisely as possible until you are confident that your problem is resolved. After that, tighten the bolts and ensure that your work has been successful.
