How to manually close a stuck passenger power window on BMW x5

SOURCE: electric window close just half way only

hello velazqj, sounds like maybe the window regulator is binding, or possibly the window motor itself. Try helping the window up by pulling up on the glass when closing and see if it closes fully. If you hear any funny grinding or crunching noises, the regulator has most likely failed. The regulator is a scissor design and the motor is directly bolted to it. I would recommend removing the door panel and having both inspected.

Hi Racegas, I am assuming you need to take off one of the rear door panels. The 1/4 glass sunshade needs to be removed to gain access to a hidden screw.If you are looking at the sunshade from inside of the car. Lower the window, and look at the op of the shade assembly on the inside. You will see a square looking hole. Using a small pocket screw driver, or equivalent, insert the screwdriver into the hole and pry upwards. Pull the assembly to you at the same time. The clip that holds the assembly in place is pretty stout. You may want to shine a flashlight inside the hole to get a better idea of how far to pry the retaining clip up. Just in case you need to know, there are 2 screws under the trim strip that is adjacent to the release handle and one toward the bottem of the door near the interior pocket.

hello there

There is no manual overide. You need to press against the glass from the inside and the outside and push it up whilst getting someone to operate the button. This will get the window up.

Hope this helps and please don't forget to rate me.

Many Thanks

hi there

there are three things that would cause this problem

1. the window motor is bad
2. the fuse that controls the window is blown

3. most common is the window switch its self

this is the most common cause
if the motor was going out it would make a noise or go down very slow but going down is easier then up so thats what makes me think switch or fuse
