I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here. In the short time I have owned my X5 you guys have had the answers to 98% of the questions I have had. Most recently how to remove my door and replace a window regulator.
I'm still waiting on the part but in the mean time I have figured out that you can keep the window in the up position with a pair of channel locks(vice grips) below the frame holding the window.

Thanks again Xoutpost
