0 wasnt m3 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Needs a regulator or the glass pulled out of the regulator. Most likely just needs a new regulator. Regulator replacement is regular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Brian. Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Pull the glass out? Which way is the cheapest. Just needs to work. Not looking to spend bookoo bucks on a regulator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Brian. Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Okay, I'll look into it. Where have you found them for $50? Thanks Tj! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jc43089 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I too have heard of the zip tie fix. Google it like a boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 shovz Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 This was the first DIY project I ever did on my car. I had no prior car experience what so ever. It was so simple. The only problem with the zip tie fix is you don't know if it will work until you take everything apart. In my case the cord was all messed up and tangled. I splurged and spent 150$ on a regulator from the dealer. I've seen mixed reviews on the other brands. Some say they work for years others say they fail within a year I can't comment on the off brand ones. But as far as saving money. Just do it yourself it's super easy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Brian. Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Broke the windows motor mounts off? Wtf. It's on a coupe too Brian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 xgeetx Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Is the e46 regulator the same as an e36? I have an extra door so you could have the regulator for like $10 if it's a match (if you're in milwaukee0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Brian. Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Regulator is fine, as are the clips. The actual mounts broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 xgeetx Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Hmmm, not sure what the mounts are. If you need new ones and it shares any pieces with an e36, my door is your door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Brian. Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Not the same. But thanks though! I have industrial,( and I mean industrial) zipties. That have a breaking strength up in the... 200lbs of force range. ? I used them in a bout 4 locations to hold the motor in/and to not shift, until I can find a new motor mount!
