I've sold my Bini subject to repairing / replacing the passenger side window regulator (it packed up the morning someone came to look at it!). The Auto Electrician is quoting $800 to fit and replace. I can get a new genuine BMW left side regulator on eBay for $200. How hard are they to fit yourself? Has anyone done it and have any advise / tips?

Cheers in advance :D

Cheers junior,

After reading this and following up until step 13 I took a beer break and then found this YouTube video
