Guide on how to remove the front door window regulator & motor from a BMW Mini R50 / R52 / R53.
Available for purchase here (2001 to 2004 models only):
RIGHT SIDE: tinyurl.com/bd...

-------------------------------
The R50 & R53 (hatchback) models run from 2001 to 2006, and the R52 (Convertible) runs from 2004 to 2008.
Common failures of this part can be the regulator cables wearing and snapping due to corrosion, or the electrical motor failing.
The special tool for the window glass removal is available as an aftermarket part (e.g Laser 5842), or as shown in the video you can use a flat screwdriver and a hammer (used gently!).
NOTE: From 2005 onwards the design of the door card panel changed slightly. All the mounting screws are in the same location, but the rear lower screw is hidden by the armrest trim. The arm rest trim can be moved out of the way by sliding it forward. To slide it forward you can insert a flat trim tool in to the front of the arm rest and push down on the locating tab, allowing it to slide forward.
