regulator come with clip and bushing?

so my gf has an 03 x5 3.0

window got stuck down, i have a 330 but have never replaced a regulator but know the problem exists, so i take off panel and i could lift the window and get it un jammed and it works fine as long as she doesn't put it down all the way.

so i had her order a reg from bma , but i guess sometimes it could be the clip on the back of the reg, i assumed this came with the reg, also there is a bushing involved somehow?

so my question is do i need to have her order other parts other than the reg?

I would order a pair of the plastic bushings where the window glass attaches to the regulator. Those have a tendency to deteriorate. I'd also order a few of the door panel trim clips, just in case some break. The clip that the cables attach to will come with the regulator.

Also, I'd ignore the Bentley book instructions to remover the outside trim at the bottom of the window; totally unneccessary. Instead, remove trhe inside trim at the base of the window...it is MUCH easier to remove and will give you all the clearance you need to get the glass out and back in.

well, she's having her butcher, i mean mechanic do it so, thought i'd help a bit, yeah some of her panel clips were even missing, let him take care of that

what i did notice was it seemed like the window wasn't being held to reg somehow and when the window goes all the way down it gets wedged

it appeared that there is something plastic that should be holding the window to the reg but oddly , i found nothing in the bottom of the door

so the clip comes with reg you say, what does the bushing do?

i see there is a hole in the window, is that where the bushing should be?

cuz again, was nothing in bottom of the door which had me stumped

i saw the bottom of the window sitting on a clip, but when it goes all the way down it would deflect backwards and get wedged,like something more should be higher up near the top hole, so is that the bushing or clip?

and which doesn't come with reg, the bushing?

i can't seem to find the reg on real oem, where the f is it listed?

but again, nothing in door , so have no clue what broke or where it went

The clip and bushing both go through the hole in the glass and bolt to the regulator.
Nothing comes with the regulator. Not the bolt, bushing, or clip.

You already got the regulator?
Punch that part number into real oem, the clips, bushing, and bolt will all be on the same page.
Real oem doesn't work well on my phone
