nll714 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 95LS 400. The drivers side front window is making a fairly ugly grinding-type noise when I lower the window. However, when I roll it back up, it is perfectly smooth and noise free. When lowering there are no perfomance issues and it goes down as it should, just a pretty bad noise happening. Any insight would be appreciated. I have to imagine that Im looking at replacing the motor, which isnt going to be cheap. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED. Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 This happens to us BMW guys a lot. We start to cringe when it does because it means the window regulator is starting to go. The grinding is the plastic in ours starting to crack. I know my passenger side window was doing it but I don't want to replace it right now so I never open it! I just checked the place I'll have to eventaully buy from and they do not offer anything for the LS. Just the ES and the 1993 GS. http://www.regulatorusa.com/ I know my BMW guys have bought from him before without any problems. I think you get a credit for your old one when you take it out and mail it to him. Then he fixes it and resells it. Not a bad thing he has going.
