E46 Window..

[Reezo]

Where can i have my window fixed in CT....or get the parts to fix..
some snot nosed brat was playing with the window..and managed to F it up.:argh:
i can pull the window up manually..but as soon as i lock the car with the remote the window motor runs and the window slides down almost halfway.

Does it not only happen when you hold the lock button (for the function that closes windows and sunroof as well)?

Because my 1 window is busted, and if I press the lock button once nothing slides down. It's only when I hold the auto close function that it will use the mechanism

Philip Foglar posted about a place in Pinelands I think that does the menchanisms for a decent price. Will see if I can find the thread

you can re program the key for the actions it needs to take and exclude the window closing function. well you can on a e 90, this should be available to you on e46 as well. :fencelook:

Just a heads up about the pinelands guy. I used him when he replaced my e46's mechanism. It failed after three months. I returned it to him, he removed it, riveted the cables back and said that the mechanism is failing because I have tinted windows:fencelook:

Two weeks later it failed again. I went to Cliftons M3 in Maitland and got a mechanism from them. I fitted it myself using a DIY from this forum and had no issues since. I would recommend doing it yourself as its quite simple. Alternatively, get the guy in Pinelands to do the fitting with your own part as his are Chinese junk. My R0.02 :=):
