Great time of the year for a window failure BRRR

Temps dropped into the high twenties this past week and yesterday my right rear window failed in the down position. Guess tomorrow I'm driving down to FCP to pick up a regulator and a motor. What sucks is there is no aftermarket one available anymore.

Grr, have a hot project to finish at work but guess Tuesday will be the day. Can't leave car unsecured and cold wet in the mornings waiting on a part right.

I keep meaning to keep a roll of painters tape in the car for when a window inevitably fails :-/

I just finished zip tying mines shut since it just decided to freefall while I was driving today

Most likely your motor is still good as these don’t go bad as often as the regulators. I replaced my 2 rear ones in my e90 in the last few years. Its odd that the front ones are used most and still holding on for 18 yrs.
