Rear Window Regulator Replacement

[Dathaeus]

Interesting you linked to an A-Premium product. I just bought trunk struts for a mercedes from them. Their reviews suggest they are high quality chinese crap.

I would go with them over the fcp euro ones. I don't think they will fail six times over unless you *really* use your windows a lot.

In fact the BMW window regulators are so crap, the only direction they can go in terms of quality is up, so I'd say get the e-premium ones.

"high quality chinese crap"
LOL, cant tell if thats good or bad...
But seems like for "cheap chinese stuff" these guys are doing it "right"?

Ya I'm gonna, even at FCP, it'll be like $320 vs these....

But the motor? yay or nay?

Why would you put anything other than the OEM motor in?

No idea... bec usually there are some parts that are ok to use cheap stuff and some not from various opinions and because I dont have unlimited funds right now so its always a balance right, between acceptable lower quality for how much savings and if it is worth it.

I ask because the motors don't usually fail, the window regulators fail

I agree... but I was wondering bec it was pretty cheap to add the motor in the package and I did hear some motors fails, altho not likely

I didnt get the motor, just ordered the reg.... one of them was recently on sale from FCP so for the little $20 savings I decided to just go with them and not mess around.

Well if they're throwing in a motor for cheap, you can imagine what the quality is like.

I have one that I need to sell. Can’t recall if it’s front or back .
