Could also be the regulator for both cases. $120\ea from the dealer, But check the Plastic clips first because even if you buy the regulator... It doesn't come with the clips. Thats why i have to open the door back up and install some..

keep experimenting with slaming the doors with the windows down.... do some 5-10 big slams, then go buy window regulators ...

seriously now, avoid slaming the doors with windows open, it will leave you with a broken window regulator

bmw brighton have them for around $3 buck each from memory.

Can someone tell me where the second clip is located?

Thanks

Even though I replaced the clips when I swapped my dying motor, that was not my problem. the regulator screws, all 4 of them, were loose. Tightened them all up and problem fixed.

Replacing the clip on my 2005 x5 front driver’s window did the trick!!! My window was rattling and when I closed the window it would make an awful cracking noise. I was afraid that this would eventually break the glass so I needed to take action. Taking the door panel off was not that hard and be sure to look for videos on the web as to how to do it. My problems were in getting the electrical plugs undone...and getting the door handle to disengage from the panel so I could work. Eventually I got both done and then replaced the clip and now everything works great... and it only cost me $1.85 for the clip. Thanks for the tip.

I honestly could not find where the other clip is beside from the one on the bottom of the door .

If you pull back the liner. The black stuff that has the devil glue. Lower the window till you see the two mounting bolts. One toward front, one toward rear. The black clip things are behind the regulator against the glass. The bolts go through regulator. This is what keeps you window in place on the regulator.

You probably couldn't find it because you didn't pull off enough of the black foam stuff.
