Hey fellas and to Chris R.

I need help with my car issue hoping you guys can give me a bright answer.

Anyway, if you notice with our windows, when you open the door, the window slightly moves down abit (about 1 cm) and when you shut the door it goes back up. (just like eauropean cars.)

I got my car back from an importer for a bumper respray and somehow my window is fuxxed. So when I open the door (passenger side) I noticed the window has gone down to about 2 cm's and when i shut the door, the window does not go up! So if you can imagine…the window get lower and lower every time I open the door and I just need to manually controll it or shut it.

Do you guys think that this has got to do with the window motor or the Body Control Motor/Unit? or more likely the wiring?

Thanks in advance.

Hey Ogz,

Strange for it to happen after some paint work but the window motor's in these do go....have you tried anything to fix? the window up and down on door open/close works in with the door switch, it wasnt disconnected for paint work was it, or not properly re-fitted? Have you put it all the way up, disconnected the battery then reconnected to see if it will reset? Just a few ideas, otherwise could be the motor, dont know too much in this area. Good luck.

Thanks for the input Sky, yeh we have tried resetting the window and no success on that, tho im not 100% sure about the success rate on disconnecting and connecting the battery for a reset?..hmm .. I brought it to an electrician, but I wasn’t very satisfied with his suggestions. I went and saw this guy twice and during that time he tells me 2 different stories.. So I thought to consult chris virtually and fellow V35 owners for some bright inputs.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
