Fate or Something (Update)
 

Hey All,

For those of you who read my earlier post about the unfortunate mishap of backing my X into a neighbor's trashcan, I've fixed the rear hatch license plate assembly. The part + paint was about $175USD. The install took about ten minutes and was no problem:) Thanks for the info regarding the replacement.

The "fate" part involves what happened while waiting at the dealership light to go pick up the hatch assembly piece. It's hot in the Southeastern US and I'd opened the windows to vent. I hear a "crashing sound" behind me, so when I look to see what happened, I notice my passenger side rear window is wide open. The window must have fallen into the door. So, the dealership has the X and is replacing the arm. If I didn't know better, I'd swear those little elves are breaking my ride:) At least it's still covered by the warranty, but two window assemblies in three weeks, is that a record on this forum or what!! Come on. Thanks for reading. J

glad to hear one problem is fixed :thumbup:

you can diy on the window regulator yourself, it'll be fun :)

Same thing here two weeks ago. Sounded like a rock hit my door. Not good because it is hot as hell in Louisiana, and it happened on a Sunday.

Yes..thats exactly what happened to mine one day..dead heat of summer 100 degrees plus i hear the same crashing noise and of course one of my rear windows falls down..the regulator of course..that is a notorious problem with the E53's .....
