Hi guys
I have a 1999 323i and my right side rear window regulator is broken, i tried to open it and noticed the metal wire was disconnected form one end, can I repair that or has to be replaced?


Thanks

I have the same problem on my 330i and it looks like i has to be replaced, the metal cable goes into a plastic fastener (metal vs plastic I wonder which one is going to win?) check the plastic part where the metal should attach and i will be that you will find that it is broken also. If the motor is still good i have seen some of the regulators online for around 50 bucks

Do some googling, links were posted here awhile back, with step-by-step photos on how to fix this. (It involved zip ties, as the factory design is flawed, and will break again.)
