Rear window wont go up

[milesz]

I started the x5 and the rear passager side window went down and wont come up. Is it the motor or the regulator or both?

Thanks

Most likely the regulator.

better yet, most likely the $2 plastic part... there is only one on the back but once it breaks, the glass is down... do not roll the window motor, it will tangle the cables and break the plastic pulleys. get the part from the dealer (51357011680), and have it fixed... check the DIY here at the HOW TO section

I agree with Terminator x5 .. The plastic clip can be the culprit (I just recently experienced)

My door got fixed together with the dreaded door carrier issue... I heard it can happen too in summer time. It's one of the many ticking time bombs

One more symptom when the window is 50% or 100% down, when you close the door, You will hear some rattling of some sort.

Regulator clips, replace all 8 and your window troubles should be minimized. 2 per door.

i think the rear ones have only one per glass, while the fronts have two per glass... if we are talking about those plastic clips i mentioned earlier...

maybe not...

Oh you could be right for all I know, I bought 8 of them to have on my shelf in case my windows ever start making "funny noises" haha!

Cheap insurance for the windows in my opinion, I just figured if the front windows took 2 they all would so I bought 8 lll

Don't slam the doors, especially if the glass is down, and your window troubles should be minimized.

That's what I was thinking.

Thanks to all who replies. I will look into getting those clips. The strangest thing is that the window went down as soon as I cranked the engine. Is there any way to crank it back up until I get the clips?

Thanks
