Going to go into Beast Mode on all these regulators and the rear door carriers since the door cards will be off. I like to knock out many of these high use old parts in one whack to prevent an inconvenient failure/downtime in the future or while in the Wisconsin frozen tundra at some ugly -°F

Will change the little plastic window holder clips as well:

Front 51338254781

Rear: 51357011680

With the front door carriers and the speaker upgrades done, hopefully this will be the last time I have to open up the door cards in my ownership of this E53.

I'm going to do mine after I overhaul my cooling system. Carriers and regulators all around. Then we'll tint her as dark as I legally can
