Window Regulator Repair Kit???

BMW X5 WINDOW REGULATOR REPAIR KIT REAR LEFT:eBay Motors (item 170398890180 end time Nov-24-09 05:22:26 PST)

What do you guys think?
I am going to replace my window regulator for the first time.
Should I purchase this cheap kit or get a new regulator for $60-80 off ebay?

Doesn't look like the kit comes with any instructions and this is my first time doing this myself

My regulator is still working, but I noticed that the little pin is popped out of the regulator itself. I popped it back in, but it snapped right back out after I moved the window. I've watched the video and it seems easy enough, but does this little strand of crossed copper wire really keep all that tension and keep the little pin from popping out 100 percent?

Did you not read my post? I said I've already seen the video, I'm asking if it works 100 percent. I found a thread he created and replied on it also. I was also curious as to what guage wire he used, but since I haven't gotten a reply, I used some 12/3 electrical wire I had in the garage. Using the 12/3 wire seems to work, and w/ it having 4 strands, it gave me enough to do 2 regulators cutting the wire into like 6-8" lengths. Now I just need to fix this damn window rattle.

Sorry to hear about your disrespectfull durg. I recently cleaned all my carpets using Miguires Carpet Shampoo. Very easy to use with outstanding results, mind you I wasn't cleaning up dog turds etc
If no joy here maybe try the Detailing Forum . In any event good luck getting that shite out.
Tell us you didn't step on it by mistake......!!
