    Now I see this video AFTER the second one. You can really see that the original is way better than the cheap replacement.

    I believe that the Push Pin Caliber Silicone Grease that you use would be a great grease on these window Tracks….

    Chronologically, 90s cars are classics. In my crusty mind, they're just cars. 😂 Drove an 80s BMW until 2010.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tom Kennedy says:

    You did a great job of greasing up that track that was last greased 25 years ago, and 25 years from now this car will either be a compressed cube of metal, or in a museum of the Ancient Internal combustion Engine Car

    As I'm watching you wrestle with the door panel, I'm yelling "door lock!" I've been pulling panels (for car stereo inst) since the days of cheap cardbord panels with snaps that ripped out the cardboard) So I always use the sheet metal panel popper tools

    For those calls, if I know the person I let them know and tell the caller I just went to their funeral, if it's some random that took my number off my truck I tell the caller that I'm looking for them too!!

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Sutton says:

    Good video. However, for this kind of application the best grease to use is silicone grease. It's not cheap if you buy small tubes but I buy larger tins and it works out OK. Silicone grease is the only grease that never dries out. Window regulators and similar motorised assemblies which include plastic sliders or cogs usually come with it already applied although I always apply more as the parts usually get a very thin application. Perhaps the cost of it persuades some manufacturers to miss it out entirely?

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daddyoh says:

    did you check to be sure the regulator cleared the nutcerts.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Marshall Larson says:

    You should have replaced the grease from 1995 in the window gearbox.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daddyoh says:

    then you'll see why BMW uses stainless steel rivets. It's called limited space.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hector Perez says:

    next time, just take the car to "Safelite" lol

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Harry Robbins says:

    I just did the same job, but in two doors they went bad at separate times but now they wanted both of them fixed. Next time try using a punch to knock through the center of the rivet. it will cut your drilling time down to about two seconds per rivet and you won't have to use a chisel to remove it.

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bruce Grunewald says:

    Rivnuts – genius! Whoever invented them should make bank. Suction cups! That's a new one on me.

    This job seems like a pane in the glass! Beamers always seem to have to be complicated…

    Chineseum window regulators, questionable materials

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Seejay Frujay says:

    Lubricants in car doors are designed to tolerate very low temps without turning solid. Maybe not needed in Florida. 😛

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars turrboenvy says:

    Oh man I had this problem with my 9-5. I replaced the rollers a few times before the regulator arm just folded in half. I bent it back into shape but it was obviously weak and I ended up replacing it. I also had to replace the rollers on both Saabs I before that. I don't know why they used such an unreliable design.

    Collector calls will pick up every year or two when the debt is resold. We had that problem with our phone number, which is why we didn't try to keep it when we moved.

    Hey Ray ! You know what would be really cool.. If you would show a 3 Seceond 360° around any new car with some stats like top speed, power and so on.. (like the trading cards ;))

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve Jones says:

    That car is more that a quarter of a century old, so I would say that the clips, seals and various bits of plastic have held up well over the years.

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Don Goff says:

    rivnuts are a lifesaver. You can also use the bolt to draw it up tighter to expand it more than your tool will do if the hole is a bit too big.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Thomas M Leahy says:

    * Nostalgia- ain't what it used to be. Sure is a complicated regulator for a single pane of glass! Ever worked on an old Lincoln town car that had 2 separate panes of glass and one complicated regulator that worked both panes separately? Man, that was so fu****, err, fun. But yours is very…interesting. Lube, grease, always a good idea, dry silicone spray in the window tracks also a great idea. Should mention, a new motor is always a good idea. *

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars W B says:

    I have owned two BMWs and one Mercedes. All three had electrical gremlins. The Mercedes SLK 320 sometimes wouldn't start. Turn the key and no start. The battery and starter were good. Sometimes during a no start episode I would turn the key and my garage door would open, turn it again and the door would close. Note it had a built in garage door opener.

    German Engineering vanity, "our stuff is so good it will never need to be replaced, we'll just rivet this part in"

    It's so satisfying watching you do things properly 😁👌

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Ford says:

    I've lost track of how many rivnuts that I had to tack weld to get them hold, and I'm just a hobbyist. They don't hold too well to the guys that think everything needs to be gorilla tight. lol!

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Terry Moody says:

    Just a hint. Knock out the center of a rivet with a punch then drill it. Much more easy and less wear on the drill bit. I had to do it all the time with previous job.

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dan Latta says:

    I’ve only assisted on one of these but this type of screw-rivet looks waaay better than with the standard rivet gun.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dan Latta says:

    Window regulators on BMW from e36 on are super cheap. You can tell one is going to go if the door card is moving when you activate window.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Samurai Fool says:

    I like the Not Rivit but Threaded Rivit gun idea. Thats Slick..!
    But I am now confused is it 'Rivit' or 'Rivet'..!?
    English, gotta love it's Multiple possibilities..!
    But you get my Point ''Trick Tool..!' Or even ''Ouzzie What's it..!?"

    Nice Work Around, is my Point. Thinking of the Next Guy too..!!

    Cheers All. Including the Clever Chaps who thought of that Work Around..! Nice..!😎

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Samurai Fool says:

    Why Rivits. Is it just a ''Designed Pain in Arse factor'' or what..!?
    How can we make this job more painful..?
    Let Cheap out, on a Nice Car to cause Distress at some point in its Future..!

    Cheers All. (Appart from those Bean Counters) 😎

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars W Satre says:

    As an old bodyman, usually replace with oe type fastener. The rivets provide the clamping force between the reg and door inner structure. With the nutserts that clamping force is reduced to the area in the hole that the nutsert is in. The repeated window action can loosen the nutserts over time.

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Reid Scheck says:

    gotta love the windbreaker and pants… as if its cold in florida. what I would do to be there in shorts and a t shirt 😫

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nalin Agarwal says:

    I love watching your videos. Kudos to you man. My experience tells me…
    1. The regulator should be flush with the door panel. The rivet comes on top. When you added inserts they protrude a bit above the door surface thus lifting the regulator up by a small amount though(about 1 mm or so) and probably mis-aligning it.
    2. The adjustment screw that you tightened last. Loosen it, pull the top part of window towards the back of car and tighten it while holding in place. The window should go up faster and with less resistance. If that doesn't work try different positions of adjuster (trial and error method)each time checking the window operation both ways(up and down) and find the sweet spot.
    Thanks and keep up the good work.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tim Walther says:

    Phew, heard the phone go off and almost got scared there wasn't going to be a "doo do doo do"..

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Mefford says:

    Put some nuts an bolts on it bolts from the inside an nuts on the out side then just cut the extra length off the bolts from the out side if needed .
