[QUOTE="evilnickwong, post: 222808, member: 2510"] My '91 E30 also used to have this problem. My mechanic's response to it was also to just bantai the door while holding down the button until it came down. :D So actually, the problem is the motor is too weak to get it moving from the rubber seals. What I did later was line the window seals along all edges with a slippery silicon grease (something my dad used when diving last time) so that the rubber won't stick to the glass so much. Now, I don't have to hentam it anymore for it to be able to come down. Of course, making it a habit to wind the windows up and down once a day helps too. Just make it a routine of sorts every morning b4 you go work. :D Hope that helps ya. [/QUOTE]
