Aiyo was practically error free for 1 week now rear window not working. When press button up or down can hear the clicking sound but window not moving. Wondering is it the motor k.o or just the regulator faulty. Can any sifu share experience?

Thanks
 
Faced this problem before... knocked the motor and it worked again.. but have to keep use it everyday... If leave for few days without using, the motor sleeps again..
 
Thanks so much for the help. Will first try knocking it a bit and see. Btw if cable rosak, how to know for sure?
 
To be 100% sure have to open up and see mah...

in my case the pink plastic pully brittle and broken causing the cable to entangle....

so i went to an engineering shop to fabricate pulley made from nylon (white kaler)

 
Moot, that look like the front lifter/regulator.

How much did it cost you to make the pulley. where did you get the new rivet to mount back the new pulley?
 
Bro J...yup front regulator...cost i kenot remember.i did not use new rivet but "reused" the old one which got a bit of the old "catch" to fit nicely back to the regulator frame which is secured it further by using the existing mounting bolt.I did make a write up on this many moons ago in this forum.
 
Hi DR78....mine rear right window also not working, just like you only can hear the 'click'...that is good coz the clicking show that the regulator in good condition..in my case, the latch that hold the cable was broken hence cannot bring up the window...what I did is just glued it back, dunno how long it will last...but its ok for now... :)
removed your door card..

then the regulator..

the broken latch..


glued it so it stick to the latch..

the epoxy that I used..


diy is fun you know... :)
 
wow thanks anakin and Moots for the picture and explanation. I really cant ask for a better help and u cant imagine hw helpful it is. U all are champions la bringing diy to a next level. Btw will there be any different with my car 2002 520i model ? Will be opening popping this virgin door this weekend. So excited. Can probably add in te door tweeters once shot since im at it. Mine no sound from door tweeter space. Thanks again guys. really really appreciate it.

he he bro Anakin....BTDT...i used Selleys....tak tahan lama la bro.....probably kalau nak tahan lama kena pakai viagra atau tongkat ali...hu hu.
I even went to the extent of wire wrapping that cable to it's housing AND applying the two part epoxy.....
 
Bang Moots..boleh tahan sampai lepas raya pun dah cukup baik dah.. :) how's e60 feel?
