Driver's window doesn't wind down smoothly

Re: Driver's window doesn't wind down smoothly

Katoomee, just bring your car to any workshop (BVO, J4C) for an assessment.
 
Re: Driver's window doesn't wind down smoothly

I replaced all 4 recently. All FOC since within warranty period... :cloud9:
 
Re: Driver's window doesn't wind down smoothly

Hey I vaguely recall my car having this problem a few months after I got it. Sent it back to PML and got the repairs done. It was some small part that was broken etc...

hi..done my pervious E46 power window regulator for $200 which includes original parts and labour at BMworkshop..
 
Re: Driver's window doesn't wind down smoothly

I had all the 4 windows having the same problem one after another. I paid for the first and therest under PML. Just push back to them saying the product provided are not reliable having paiud over 100K for such car. Dealing with such people, weneed to bang table.
Try you luck. No harm trying.

Re: Driver's window doesn't wind down smoothly

i agree man ... was lookin at the 645cab ... thinking to get it for my next car , but the aftersales is :furious: :furious: :furious: .... really puts me off .. now considering maserati as they are in the nearly same price range ... :ehhh:
 
Re: Driver's window doesn't wind down smoothly

Before my warranty expires, one of the PML service advisors told me about the cracking sound when winding down the windows. He gives me the impression that it is not covered under warranty and it is wear and tear.
For me I do not mind, b'cos it is just the windows.
Now I feel cheated, having read the thread. Should have asked for repair under warranty immediately.

If your car is still under warranty, go back to PML to get it changed. I just got all my windows changed when I went for my Inpection 1 service the other day. My warranty will expire early next year. Don't let the CSA tell you that it's not covered under your warranty.
