|
|
I just bought a 2001 740il and the right rear window regulator is making that bad cable sound.
After replacing a reg on my last 740, I found I could have just put the cable back on the pulley. has anyone ever just fixed the existing regulator?
Usually the cable just jumps the trolly |

While I've not repaired mine yet, I've read where most E38/39 rear window regulators must be replaced, rather than repaired, since one of the pieces actually breaks; one owner has repaired, rather than replaced.
You'll need to open it up to see for sure. _________________
