My wife just called to tell me the passenger side front window won't roll up. I guess I'll be trying the copper wire fix this week. I'm not much of a mechanic so wish me luck!!
![]() I also need to fix the door lock on the drivers side----ugh!

My window is stuck in the 'up' position. How do I get it down, to disconnect it from the regulator? I saw MrBMWX5' 'Flicker' post on how to repair it after I get it out.
Thank you! imbvl - '01 X5 4.4 |

Take a set of bolt cutters and cut the metal cord that runs from the left side of the regulator to the right side of the regulator. The regulator will have to be thrown away after doing this, so make sure you have the replacement handy.
I would hold on to the window at the same time just incase it drops, you could always get a 2nd person to help you ![]() Good luck! |

After the CV boot, here comes the window regulator!!
The driver window was stuck in the open postion. Local body shop replaced two plastic pieces without replacing the whole thing!! those two little fellows cost 10$ and he took 20$ for the labor of 2 hours!! 30$ to fix a broken window regulator! So now i know why you american guys dump your luxury cars that are expensive to maintain, and we buy them from you and keep them running with low cost ![]() ![]() actually it's only the labor that is cheap, when a hardware needs to be replaced, it cost us here as well (water pump, alternator, etc...) but the CV boot and regulator require labor as the major part, that's why i did both for 120$Cheers!

Window Stuck down
I've had the bad luck of 3 windows breaking within a 2 week period. The back two I had no issues replacing myself. The front driver side is stuck down and I can't get the window reg. up enough to unbolt the window. The window reg. is unbolted but the window and reg won't move. Any suggestions how to get it to budge enough so I can unscrew it. ** The door handle popped out and got stuck the same time the window crapped out and dropped into the door.

Do you have a replacement regulator waiting?
If so, cut the metal cord with a pair of bolt cutters or anything similar, the window will then move freely so that you can access the screws to unbolt the winter from the regulator. Just rememer that the old regulator is broken and will need to be thrown out. Quote:

Thanks. Super easy fix. I didn't even think of cutting the wire. That solved my issue to get the old one out.
