E90 window reset after regulator replacement

[Critikon]

(I did search for this before posting but found nothing)

I replaced a broken regulator on my 2006 320d left rear window today. Not sure why it broke, if the window was operated more than a dozen times in the 6 years I have had it that's a lot. I don't have kids and I rarely have rear passengers. I just noticed on Saturday when I started the car in the garage that it sounded like something was open, which it was, using the window switch just dropped it wide open and that was that.

Anyway, removing and replacing it was a piece of cake (and a lot of cash) but now the window seems to have forgotten where closed is. If I close it with the door switch or the driver's door switch it stays closed, but if I use the remote to close all then it closes and reopens about an inch.

My local dealer suggested a manual reset using the switch but that hasn't worked, in the up position if I pull the switch again the window drops the inch again. Any other ideas before I take it in for a dealer reset?

Try this:

An initialization must be performed:
• In the event of malfunctions, e.g. no one-touch control function, no opening or if available no comfort function is possible
• After the power window drive has been replaced
• After work is carried out on the power window mechanism
• If necessary, after an open circuit, e.g. disconnection of the battery or disconnection of the power supply to the door
• After the door window glass has been removed and installed or replaced
• After adjustment work on the door window glass
• After adjustment work on the convertible top
• After replacement of seals


Initialization is performed on the power window switch of the relevant door.
Requirements for correct initialization:
• Terminal "R" activated
• Doors and windows closed
• Sufficient battery voltage; connect charger if necessary
Initialization comprises:
• Erasure of initialization
• Reinitialization


Erasure of initialization:
• Open door window glass fully
• Actuate power window switch in "Open" position (second switch position) and hold down for between 15 and 20 seconds
This clears initialization of the power window. Anti-trapping protection and one-touch control (toll) function are inactive.
Check whether one-touch control (toll) function is inactive, otherwise repeat procedure.
Reinitialization:
• Close door window completely
• After upper end position is reached, interrupt actuation of power window switch and then hold switch again for approx. 1 second in "Close" position (second switch position)
• Open door window glass fully
• After upper end position is reached, interrupt actuation of power window switch and then hold switch again for approx. 1 second in "Open" position (second switch position)
• Close door window completely
• After upper end position is reached, interrupt actuation of power window switch and then hold switch again for approx. 1 second in "Close" position (second switch position)
This completes initialization.
Note:
Carry out function check (one-touch control function, anti-trapping protection and, if necessary, comfort function).

Note:
The power window can also be initialized in the BMW diagnosis system by means of a diagnosis job.

A bit cumbersome ,

i will have to try this since BMW are charging R900 to carry out diagnostics and reset window regulator.
