Replacing the Window Regulator Motor on a Mini R50

Model: Mini Mini R53, R52, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Starter motor

This video shows you how to remove the window regulator motor from the door. Before doing this, you will need to remove the door panel itself (if you don't know how to do this, refer to our other tutorials). After doing this, use a metal tool and a rubber mallet to remove the metal rollers shown in the video. This way, you can slide out the window glass, which will now be free. At this point, unscrew the three screws that secure the motor. After completely "emptying" the door, proceed to reassemble the motor, the window gears, and the glass.
