I can hear the clunk clunk sound when press the switch. I open up the door card yesterday and confirm the cable is loose. Since the glass sometimes came down slightly, it create the wind noise. I'm also afraid should heavy rain water can sip in.  So I decided to place the wood below the glass to hold it temporarily (don't laugh...) I suspect the 'clamp' for cable to the channel up down broken. It is a poor design by BMW. We always laugh at Proton but then ours also have issue. Last few month i have to change rear right side.  Anyway, I came across the DIY from Youtube about this. They even came out the fix to clamp the thing at USD25. Free shipping. It does say meant for model up to 6/99 only. Before I spend RM200-300 to change the regulator it I would like to try and do something with the clamp first. Perhaps can copy the design of the clamp.My question to you, you said no need to remove the glass. In Youtube, that fellow remove the glass. Naidu also remove the glass when he replace my right whole set recently. Does it mean I can just undo the torx screw holding the glass then loosen the nut holding the motor. I prefer not to remove the glass as it require to remove other parts as well. Wrongly done can scratch or damage some parts. By the way, what glue you use to hold the cable?</blockquote>
