E36 316i coupe window prob!!

Maybe needs some more plastic guides (the ones that run along at the bottom edge of the window that the actuator arms fasten to) they don't cost that much.
Mine was doing this, ended up bending one of the arms.. Window came out of the runner - PITA to get sorted.

Ended up getting the RAC windscreen bloke to sort it out when I had my other window replaced after an accident. He put new runners on and straightened the arm. Gave him a tenner for his trouble.

I'd have it looked at before it gets too bad, removing all the trim isn't a big job but getting your hands in behind the gubbins can cause a bit of grief. Was told a new mechanism would cost a bit as the whole lot would need replacing.

It's the guides sticking right enough, just try lubing them up with white / silicone grease, sholuld do the trick, it's a safety thing with BMW, if the window meets any resistance going up, it will stop & drop back a tiny bit, incase a child or something was stuck in the window.

Welcome along.  Depending on what part of the banner you are in and if you do need someone to look at it, try John Roche in Gort.  His details are in the Irish Contacts thread on the Irish section.  He's a good guy and knows his way around BMW's after years of working in dealerships in the UK.

mighty stuff, thanks a million, better look into it, been letting them away with annoying me long enough!!! sound out, thanks!!!!
