Window & Window Regulator Alignment
I recently bought a URO window regulator, along with OEM clips, and I spent a lot of time adjusting it and trying to get it to run smoothly. It worked well for a few days, but when I shut the door with the window down, it came off the clips again. I've readjusted the window regulator multiple times with no luck. Is there a definitive guide on how to adjust the regulator so it can raise and lower the window without coming off the mounting points? Any help would be great. |

I have repaired two window regulators /replaced clips on my X5 and am about to go in again because my son tried to open windows in freezing weather (a definite no)
I am not quite sure how the window falls out of the holder unless the clips or the regulator break? And is there really much adjustments to do? when replacing window regulator I thought it was a couple of bolts (each may have a little adjustment slack) and that's it..Keeping silicone on the tracks seems important. |

Yeah, I think you're doing something wrong on assembly. My window regulator (front left) cost $21 and works like a champ. This is my first E53 replacement, so maybe it will be different, but I probably bought 8 regulators for my E46 over the years and found virtually no difference in life from cheap vs. expensive brands.

I agree with the other comments that there is no adjustment. Most likely something is missing.
Are you using this part: 51-33-8-242-760 ? Your words above suggest you're using a "nut." If "nut" means this part, that's good. If nut means a standard hex nut that fits, well ... After the window clip goes through the hole in the window, that goes in to keep the arms of the clip pressed out, firmly holding the glass. Then the screw goes into it, holding it in place. The clips can easily snap, the screw (if not loctited) can back out of that bushing, but other than those failures it's pretty simple if all correct parts are used.

The way I have the window regulator set up is
Window -> Black Plastic Clip -> Bushing (nut) -> Regulator Clip -> 8mm Screw clamping the bushing to the regulator clip. |

Swap the black plastic clip for the window and I think you will be alright.
I had the same issue. Brad

Do you mean replace the black plastic clip? Or is there something in the order the OP listed?

The window was broken when I bought the car, but after watching a few videos online I think I’ve gotten the order wrong. The black plastic clip goes through the middle of the window, but the bushing/nut thing (51-33-8-242-760) needs to be the last part. It should go Bushing Nut -> Part of Black Clip -> Window -> Other Side of Black Clip -> Regulator -> Screw.
