Replaced window regualtor clips without removing regulator

[squidzilla]

I did this using these. Window Regulator Repair Clips Fits BMW X5 E53 (2000-2006) Front Left & Right | eBay


These clips have more room to slide the wire under the hook/ catch parts of the clip. Certainly more room that the clip that came with the 25.00 ebay regulator I bought ( I removed that clip to compare them side by side and am not going to be able to put that one back on without taking it apart)

So I still have the 25.00 regulator and have my OE one is still in my front passenger side 4.6is. They go in so easily I will replace those along with the black clips as preventive maintenance on with regulators. I did not even move the airbag or the top part of the vapor barrier.
