BMW E36 Forum

Hi there,
I have a Vreg £ series Compact and recently the driver side window fell down in the door. I managed to get this put back by the AA but now it doesnt work properly. When I open the window the glass tilts forward towards and I cant get it to go up in a straight line when I try and close it.It's all tilted forward and out of alignment! It seems to have come off its correct path! Is there anything I can do to fix this mysef - is it a nightmare? If I do need a new part what woul dit be called - is it some sort of scissor mechanism and is it expensive......?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Amy

it sounds like its come off the rail just take your door card off you will see the problem easy fix

I second what Karlos328i said.
Have a Google around there is a e36 specific guide with pictures as to how to re align the glass.

There are 2 white plastic sliding clips behind the door panel which sometimes break off. You can buy replacements from ebay for about £5 including postage.

I've attached a link to a webpage which tells you how to replace them.
