BMW Window Regulator - Whether it Be the Front Or Rear, Chances Are You May Have Problems
Now that spring time is upon us and summer is right around the corner, more and more cars will be on the road tuned up, shined up, rip roaring ready to go.
There is nothing better than cruising down the avenue, car shining from the hot sun beaming down from above.
You roll down your window and let the cool breeze just blow right through your hair.
Ahhhhh, the wind through your hair..
..
what could be better? Just one little problem, if your car happens to be a BMW, the window may not roll down due to a bad window regulator, therefore you are forced to drive around with the A/C on instead of the natural outside air.
I work for a company who sells a wide variety of foreign car parts and over the last year one of our top selling items is the window regulator for a BMW.
The window regulator is the device that allows the window to go up and down staying on track.
If your window regulator is faulty, even if the motor still works there is a good chance that your window will just get stuck or stay off track.
Once we decided to start listing window regulators for all types of BMW's, we were shocked at juts how many people started ordering this part.
It started to seem like every fifth order was a BMW owner requesting a window regulator.
It soon became a joke that we believed that every BMW in the world must have a problem with their windows one time or another.
We sell them a lot for other automobiles too, but the BMW is by far our biggest regulator customer base.
Most cars have 4 windows, therefore there are 4 different window regulators that can be faulty: -Left/Front: (Driver Side/Front Window) -Right/Front: (Passenger Side/Front Window) -Left/Rear: (Driver Side/Rear Window) -Right/Rear: (Passenger Side/Rear Window) You can either purchase a window regulator with or without the motor.
One's that do not have a motor are obviously cheaper in price.
When you click the switch to roll down your window, if you can hear the motor buzzing, then most likely you would not need the motor but just the regulator.
If you click the switch to roll down the window and nothing at all is happening, you may need both.
Summertime is right around the corner and if your window isn't working properly then you may be in for a rough, unpleasant ride.
I'm sure that many cars have similar problems with their window regulator, but just from my own personal experience and opinion, BMW by far has the most problems.
