what is this cars problem?

DannyZ · 08-23-2008, 07:00 PM

It seems that, maybe this is a repost...but I cant find any information on this problem here or really anywhere considering this is (from what I hear) a frequent problem...

ok, my passenger side window on my 2003 roadie is no longer going up and down an inch when opening/closing the door...when you close the window it will drop a 1/4 of an inch and stay there causing a high pitch whistling noise when driving at speeds over 65mph or in high winds. Ive tried reseting the windows, taking the door apart to see if anything is loose, etc. and nothing. is it time to go the dealership? $$$

thanks, if you can help...

A faulty window regulator mechanism on my '02 325i E46 caused similar symptoms which I fixed using these DIYs and zipties.

In case that's not a fix for a Z4 window regulator see this clip replacement DIY:
