Review on πŸšͺ A-Premium Rear Right Passenger Side Power Window Regulator for BMW X5 E53 2000-2006 - Motor Not Included by Bennie Wilks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great item, no frills, read review Tips

UPDATED: My (original, factory) passenger side power window broke 4 months after the driver side broke. I bought another A-Premium ESC, but this time for the passenger side. Another perfect fit with no issues. Keep in mind that if you replace one side, you will probably soon be replacing the other side as well. Consider doing both at the same time! ---It fits perfectly and does exactly what it's supposed to. BUT remember that this is the bare part of the bones. It doesn't include the zip tie that forms an X between the two cables, and it doesn't include the window mounting clips that your old window is likely to have badly damaged. So make sure you have a zip tie handy and position it exactly as the OEM did and make sure you buy new window clips. I had to go to my local BMW dealership for clamps for $5.50 each because I couldn't wait. Installation Tips: Insert the plastic retaining clip into the hole in the glass, then insert into the bracket and screw tight. Secure the window over the top of the door frame with a few strips of tape from the inside of the glass to the outside of the glass. I didn't have to remove the glass to install this. Some online instructions say it is necessary. Also removing the speaker housing in the door will make life a lot easier. with heavy-duty black tape and filled in the missing gaps with what was left of the Noico soundproofing. I put it off for a few months because I hate working on the door panels on most cars, but it was easy.
