IMO I'd just replace it... who wants to take the door apart twice....
I don't even want to do it once. What are the tools required? I'm guessing it's not too bad of a DIY?
It's not bad - plastic trim tools, Torx driver, ratchet & sockets, razor blade, butyl caulk rope.

Thanks
Are there any other parts needed other than the regulators?
FCP seems to have one of the lowest prices on the genuine regulators.
Purchasing from FCP will mean it's the last one you'll buy as long as they have the free replacement. I've been able to remove the vapor barrier without damaging it by using a single-edged razor blade to help separate it from the butyl caulk when stubborn. Heating the butyl caulk strip with a heat gun or hair dryer before pressing the barrier back into position will help the barrier re-adhere to the caulk.Quote:

I’m thinking I’ll be replacing 02 Sensors while I’m down there, but is there anything else I can do while I’m under there that I’m not thinking about?
AND.... ecstuning has a Univ. Flex Disc kit, am I better off just buying the support bearing and the guibo/flex disc and only replacing that?
Or is everything in there kit worth replacing?
Thanks in advance guys!

Makes sense to do both while you have it apart.
on my old E39, i replaced the Guibo and had to pull it all back apart the do the support bearing 2 months later.
I'd get the kit... you don't want to have to drop the drive shaft twice. That's the same kit I used a couple of months ago
The O2 sensors that matter are at the top og the manifolds and are removed under the hood. The secondary Os sensors are for catalytic converter function and rarely go bad...
Is it possible to change the window regulator without having the airbag light come on? I think I read it's possible. The video I watched had the person using the regulator to get the window in the right position to get to the 2 screws/bolts, and then again when putting it back together. Is there a way to avoid that?
Just disconnect the battery and let it sit for 10 or so minutes, then do the job. If you have to reconnect the battery, make sure to plug the airbag back in before you do and you shouldn't have any issues.Quote:
