Z4 Door Panel Removal DIY
I've searched around and cannot seem to find a 'DIY' for removing the door panel on the passenger side. The window in my wife's car seems to be off track or loose, heck I can even raise it up in the channel, it goes down and then binds up when coming back up.
Is this likely a bad, regulator or could it be possible I could just get the panel off and see if perhaps the assembly has come loose and tighten it all back up, is this a common problem? If this is a dealer fix any idea what the going rate is? Any help would be appreciated. |

Ron Styger has a DIY over on Bimmerfest, search on "damplifier pro" and you'll see his DIY for removing the door and insulating them.

I would start looking for a indy shop to have work done on your car. They will be almost half the price. http://www.bimmershops.com/

From what I remember, you remove the door handle cover by sliding it down. Then there are 2 star bit bolts in the handle, and one behind the little airbag logo. After that, you pull on the bottom, and then up

Definitely not for the timid to remove the door, and those clips in the door are really "one-time" use, plus, the new clips have rubber gaskets to eliminate noise and creaks, which I replaced all of them. The bear is finding that butyl tape for the lining of the door and you must have a trim removal kit, like the 6 piece from Bavauto, it's invaluable for removing the brittle plastic bits from the BMWs.
