Haha! I feel your pain.
Just bought this X5 and have replaced 3 regulators complete because I didn't have the parts to repair them, ordered them but had complete failure before they arrived.
Where my wife parks her car at work you can't have a window down for 2 days.
Both fronts were hanging on by one, if you rolled the window all the way down it would get stuck in the door.
The rear passenger went down and stayed down, fortunately the two pass ones were salvaged for repair.
This one is in crazy good shape and only has 44,000 miles on it, it's time not wear.
I feel your pain.
I've replaced tons of these things from GM to BMW, my favorites are the VW when they just fall into the door and brake the window too!
Then you get to take out 25 bolts to pull the whole regulator assembly.
Also MBZ, same crap big giant stupid regulators.
For the life of me I can't under stand why they don't make them out of metal and use plastic inserts, fail means money I guess.
