Mini Cooper owners: need to replace door handle. Mini/BMW engineers: OK, step 1: unmount the ENGINE by disassembling the entire FRAME first
One of the best Vids on YT. I wanted to paint my mini with the mirror and handle off, whithout this i would have broken something or kicked the door.
Damm ! I'm wrapping my mini, but I watched this, and I felt like WTH . A lot of work. Thanks for the video .
Great video. Just a word of caution. I tried to torque the window bolts to the 8ft/lbs and the window shattered. Maybe I didn't have it seated all the way or something but the 8 lbs felt pretty tight. Bought a new window and just snugged them up to what felt OK and all is good now. Thanks again!
Watching this video as a novice = 😳🤯
This was very helpful, except for the skip at 3:52. The bolts need to be backed out even further once you pull them with the magnet. I fiddled with them far too long before figuring it out.
good vid, my 2009 required going beyond the magnet and using a hooked wire to grab the screws to back them into the second set of threads or they were still in the way of the glass sliding out.
good video glass retaining bolts were different however on the 2009 mini i worked on in that both sides of the glass clevis are threaded and the bolts only threaded on the tip so you think the bolts loose but you then have to thread it through the other half of the clevis
when reinstalling how do you get the inter handle cable to reconnect correctly. when I get thè cable to snap closed. The handle on the inside handle. pushes it open, and won't work!
i thought i'd put on some carbon doorhandles myself, i think i will not do that and let some shop do it for me xD
hey so i did everything, but now theres a whistling sound anytime it goes fast enough so uh yea lol
Thanks!!
This would be so much better ad useful if the car o was working on didn’t have a window in the damn way
What year was this one? I pulled apart a 2012 or 2013. Waaaay different.
Hi, I followed your steps, thank you, now I put everything back but when I press the toggle to close the window it goes all the way up and comes down half way, I don't know how to fix it any ideas ? Thanks
You need to reinitialize the window motor. Do that by (with the door closed) pressing the window switch down and once the window reaches the bottom, hold the switch down for a couple more seconds. Repeat the steps for he up position. Holding at the top for a couple of seconds.
Window should now go up and down normally, and should "cinch" properly as well on door open.
Geez, ill just leave the broken handle alone
This is just idiotic engineering 😂 thanks for the vid though
i want to say this...mini cooper stupid company.. my mini 2014 r55 Hampton.
Easy money 😑😑😑😡there just over engineered little suckers 😂
