This is very helpful, knowing how to get the door trim and curtain roller out w/o damage. Thank you. Couple of tips/notes: 1) the curtain clip must be pushed up, not down, and even then the roller assbly fights coming out. I needed to pry it from the top with a 2nd screwdriver while holding up the clip. 2) There are a number of small connectors that need to come off before pulling the door trim, including a tiny bulb that illuminates the interior latch. The plastic "lightwave" will snap if you are too rough pulling out the bulb (squeeze the connector "wings" to release). 3) the window does not need to come out, so you do not need to fiddle with those trim pieces. Just tape it up and out of the way, the regulator has plenty of room to be replaced...4) when moving the motor over to the new regulator, there were tabs that blocked laying it directly over the screw holes in the regulator. It had to be installed just outside the tabs, and the cables pulled to rotate it in position so the screws could be installed. Don't try and turn the motor gear by turning the body of the motor to make the alignment.
Can't thank you enough for this video -- This is what stopped me from putting in the new glass this morning.
Thanks so much for this - I was able to change out the window regulator and save myself $550! I really appreciate it.
So a Murphy's law scenario happened with my back left door and this video absolutely saved my ass. I needed that window closed and it was stuck open. It was about 40 or 30° outside and I had a feeling it was going to snow in the morning turns out I was right.
Thank you for this video man
Thank you for posting this How-To!! With your helpful info I’ve once again been able to flawlessly repair my vehicle!
Correction: You only simply need to gently LIFT the tab (accessable through the small gap shown). DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUSH DOWN.
+Jaysn Nicholson Thanks for that correction.
Yea, I was getting pissed trying to push down before I looked at the disconnected clip on the video and was like... you gotta pry that clip up! Haha. Good video nonetheless.
Thanks for the help again.. Regulator replaced. The info on the small window shade was priceless.
Thanks for posting. Have to replace my regulator this weekend and this was extremely helpful.
Yo sir. you have the best intentions of trying to help everyone with how to remove the rear shade but you are mistaken. It is pushing the pin-up in order to remove it. Keep it up...thanks for your videos...
Being a stay at home mom, I appreciate you posting this!!! I am fixing my own window and with this video I've also learned about how to fix my front door that won't open from the inside now that I can see where that bowden cable goes to!! Thanks!!
Stay at home mom working on a bmw....thats awesome. Glad our videos helped you out.
I just did this and didn't have to remove the window glass. great info! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing.

Just replaced the rear passenger door regulator for the second time. Your video helped in removing the shade. I also had to replace the rear lock actuator and watched your video on that too. Great stuff, muchas gracias!
I looked at your site for the rear door actuator, but you were out of stock at the time. I'll make sure to shop at your site first before looking elsewhere next time as well. You do a great service with these videos for BMW owners... and providing salvage parts!!!
Shopping at our site helps us get more cars and in turn produce more videos. Thanks for your support.

Thank you so much for posting this video bimmermerchant!! You're an absolute star :))
Thank you for watching our video.
I luv your videos, I have a BMW X5 E53 and I have been able to complete the regulator replace, brake job.. At my age I cannot spend oodles of cash on repairs, so I am thrilled with videos like yours that enable me to complete some repairs myself. The only issue I had with all of this and related was a problem I had with the interior handle while doing the rear passenger regulator replacement.. I re - viewed and never got the point where I could have prevented breaking off the interior handle unit. a 10mm wrench loosened the bolt for me to slide up the broken piece. I used JB weld to reattach and did put it back in place, so all worked out, but it was an easy snap off that you may want to note on the video. Thank you for your posts!!!!!
Thanks for supporting our videos. Due to time constraint, we try to focus on the most important steps and therefore might leave out steps that are required. Thanks for pointing that out and hope viewers avoid any issues by following your recommendation. Thanks again.
Another great video by BM, thanks! I like to use duct tape to keep the window up and out of the way, but removing it prevents it from falling and getting damaged, or injuring the tech ... good advice, safety first!
Thanks for posting. This worked on my 96 750iL E38. I couldn't find any information on removal of the quarter shade housing and your video helped. BTW, I was on your website, any chance you have oem fog lights for my car?
Very helpful. Great detail, just what I needed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge brother! Keep up the good work
You rock! Nice explanation and detailed instructions. Saved me time and broken parts.
I guess our video served it purpose. Be sure to check out our website for all your pre-owned bmw parts: www.bimmermerchant.com
Does the outter trim need to be removed also if you only want to get to the regulator? Or can you just proceed and remove the regulator without removing the top outer trim?
how did you remove the panel without snapping off the screen? I did the same thing and the screen snapped off because the little metal clamps held it on. you were either super lucky or did something beforehand. any idea?
Hey man. Thanks. My X5 has airbags on the doors, do I follow the same process or is this dangerous?
Nice and thorough demonstration. thank you

great video, my son and I are off to replace thefront door regulator and the rear door we bought that did not include the regulator for his 02 -X5
Father and son working together on their bmw, thats classic. You should do fine, just take your time and remember how everything came off.
This was very helpful. I didn't know how to remove that small shade screen. However, I found that you do not need to remove the window, or the rubber track it sits in (or the 2 screws holding that in.) Instead, just disconnect it from the regulator, then unscrew the regulator from the door, and then move the window into the closed position as you remove the window regulator.
Thanks for sharing that information.
I lost my T20 screws for my door panel. I cant find them anywhere. Can you give me suggestions for replacement screws...
Well done, thanks!!!
Thanks!
About the "pin" holding the sun shade trim in place, it was stated to push down on the pin to remove it. This is wrong. You must insert your flathead screwdriver up under the metal and pry up instead of pushing down.
bery good instructions
Thanks.

Thanx. This video really helped me.
Good to hear.
Very helpful!
Amanda Williams Our pleasure.
My glass just fell down on my truck (x5 4.6is) and I had no clue how to fix it till I saw this video
Do you need to remove the window to replace the window regulator? I got my regulator out fine without removing the window, will my new one go in properly?
Mazer Rackham so did i
Did it ?;!
how can i remove the other shade from the door panel?
muy buen video grasias
+Jorge Guevara Gracias
Bro. Thank you
Thank you for watching our DIY Video. Hope you found useful information.
should i remove all te rear interior
How do you get that other fixed window out? I need to replace the outer seal around it.
Sorry can't help there. Haven't removed quarter glass
i need to remove my interior roof to get it fix , any body got a video how i can get it done on a 2003 x5 .
My head nearly exploded trying to take the sunshade off by trying to push the tab down as you explained. I finally looked at a very helpful Pelican Parts.com instruction online and realized you are supposed to gently pry the clip UP instead and it easily comes off. You should take this video down
im a bmw x5 4.4i owner i have my rear carpet wet what could be reason
Question, the window stuck and won't go down can't reach the bolt. Please advise
Remove the bolts on the motor and remove it. Makes sure your supporting the window first. I use 2" wide painters tape to tape to secure the window in the up position so it won't fall. Remove the tape and ease the window down to where you can get to the bolt.
You solved my problem in emergency I took my car unknown garage and he damaged all
Man I cannot figure out how to get the small white plastic tab that we pushed back, back onto the door handle -.- my door is stuck closed.
Thank you for posting this video and explaining it nice and helpful
PUSH UP ON THE CLIP TO GET IT OFF NOT DOWN!!!!! It took me two hours to figure this out.
Correct.
To keep the camera focus don't have it on auto-focus. Zoom in on something far and focus, then zoom out. The lens will stay focus and not jump out of focus like that.
Anthony De Peralta got it. Thanks for that input.
the silver clip pops up not down for the window shade
Correct. Thanks for pointing that out.
you gave a wrong direction. to take the shade out, you should not push down, but push up.
Richard Wei i can not open the car to put water on radiator
Anabela Faria , I don't know how to help you. Probably you need to take your car to mechanic
I'm doing something wrong my door will not come off I am following every step
Same lol. I did the pass rear fine. But driver rear seems to be holding on near the tweeter
@@LuisSanchez-lc9wb I did my driver door it's my rear driver side
There is no pin. And you keep saying you push it down, that's incorrect, you LIFT the clip.
lot a pins, lot a pins.
why did you remove the window to remove the regulator..ANYONE READING YOU DONT REMOVE THE WINDOW TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR useless step
Chris Garcia thank you!!
