Hi guys,
I may look at an E70 in the future... Questions: - Does the E70 have the same issues of window clips like the E53? - Any issues with E70 window regulator?

- Follow-up on post #36 above on Windows Sliding Clips.
- Just did similar Window Sliding Clips on my 2004 BMW X3 (not the same but similar idea)... - In the photo below that I posed previously, I used a Channel Lock pliers, however, I have found an easier technique: a small C-Clamp. With the C-Clamp, tape a nut on the flat part of the C-Clamp. As you tighten the C-Clamp, use a small screw to help press the metal "ferrule" into the plastic slot. - The reason for all this C-Clamp business is that: the "Regulator Fix" item was mfg'd with the slot smaller than factory, so it takes work to push the ferrule inward. In a way, this is better b/c when in operation, the ferrule does not pull on the tabs above (on the slider) but this is "friction fit", so the ferrule pulls on the sides of the plastic slot. - Hope this helps... - This is the photo that I posted last year using Channel Lock Pliers, but as mentioned above, the C-clamp makes things much easier...

An little UPDATE...
- In my previous posts, I mentioned using Channel Lock Pliers to squeeze the Cable "Ferrule" inward b/c the RegFix Plastic Clip is tight. - Now I think it is probably easier with a small C-Clamp + Torx #15 bit. - Just firmly squeeze it in and make sure you don't break the plastic clip. - Photo to show the idea of C-Clamp...

- I have a little time, so I get to the bottom of this design and why it fails the way it does...
- If you look at the photos I posted in the original thread, the factory Slider Clip was still intact, although the 2 tabs were a little bent (maybe on the way out...). - The factory setup is that: the slot is loose and when the glass is going upward, the ferrule pulls on the 2 small tabs on the TOP of the Slider Clips, and over time, these tabs break. A better design is to have beefier tabs on the TOP of the Slider Clips! - The ebay RegFix White Clip is somewhat interesting. I understand this is aftermarket stuff, the slot was made very tight (probably unintentional but it works in our favor!), I had to use Channel Lock Pliers to squeeze the ferrule in the slot. So for the ebay RegFix White Clip, the SIDEWAY force from the plastic material holds the ferrule in place and there is little force on the 2 tabs on the top. Anyway, this may turn out to last longer b/c the force is NOT on the 2 tabs. - I took a random photo from the web to show the broken factory clip (Left of photo) and the ebay RegFix White Clip (Right of the photo)... ---

- I forgot to make a note on the Door Panel Removal...
- The BLACK Rectangular Piece (BLUE Arrow) setup is: a. Slides into the Door Panel b. Snap into the Metal Prong (on the door itself) - During removal: once you pry all the clips out, PULL the Door Panel toward you but LIFT the door UPWARD a bit to disengage the BLACK Rectangular Piece. - During installation, my trick is...remove the BLACK Rectangular Piece from the Metal Prong: squeeze the metal prong with a pair of pliers to get the BLACK Rectangular Piece out. Now...spread the metal prong tabs outward a bit so it bites on the BLACK Rectangular Piece later. Use a small screwdriver to spread the metal prongs. - Before you remove the BLACK Rectangular Piece, note the orientation of the BLACK Rectangular Piece (it is NOT symmetrical). - Now install the BLACK Rectangular Piece on the Door Panel first using a bit of glue or tape to hold it in place. - During re-installation, just push the Door Panel into the tops 5 tabs (BLUE Circles), the BLACK Rectangular Piece will snap into the metal prong. ---

- A quick note on modes of failure...
1. If the Cable breaks, or the Plastic Pulley cracks, you need new window regulator. Search forum for brand names: BMW $180; VDO $100; Amazon "Premium" brand $30 etc. 2. I just took some random photos from the internet and put them together... - Photo on the LEFT, when glass going up, the force of the cable ferrule is on the plastic tabs on the "slider" which are broken (RED Circle). The YELLOW Circle shows broken plastic prongs (4 of them)...but when this part fails, no big deal, window still going up and down but with a crackling noise, simply b/c the bolt is still there raising the glass up and down, even with the broken plastic prongs. 3. Photo in the MIDDLE shows broken guide rail (BLUE circle) and broken tabs (RED Circle). 4. Photo on the RIGHT shows normal setup. NOTE that when the glass is going up, the bolt is pushing on the flimsy plastic prongs, and with time, the prongs will break off. Just terrible design. You don't see this problem in the E39 5-series (different issue but no broken prongs). For the next repair, I am thinking about placing a small rubber hose at the bottom (YELLOW Arrow) to help spread the load, minimizing the chance of broken plastic prongs... ---

As the popularity of 9xMovies grew, so did the attention from law enforcement agencies and the film industry. In 2004, the MPAA and other industry groups began to crack down on piracy sites, including 9xMovies. The site faced numerous shutdowns and domain seizures, but it continued to operate under different domains and IP addresses.
The story of 9xMovies serves as a reminder of the complex and often fraught relationship between the internet, piracy, and the entertainment industry. While the site is no longer operational, its legacy continues to influence the way we consume entertainment today. As the internet continues to evolve, it's essential to recognize the importance of legitimate online platforms and the need for effective anti-piracy measures to protect creators and consumers alike. 9xmovies 2004
In the years since 9xMovies' heyday, the entertainment industry has undergone a significant transformation. The rise of streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime has made it easier than ever for consumers to access legitimate content. Additionally, anti-piracy measures have become more sophisticated, with industry groups and law enforcement agencies using advanced technologies to track and shut down piracy sites. As the popularity of 9xMovies grew, so did
As we look to the future of entertainment, it's clear that the lessons learned from 9xMovies will shape the industry for years to come. The rise of streaming services and the proliferation of anti-piracy measures have created a more sustainable and equitable model for content creation and distribution. While piracy remains a challenge, the story of 9xMovies serves as a reminder that the internet can be a powerful tool for creativity, innovation, and connection – as long as we prioritize legitimacy, fairness, and respect for creators' rights. The story of 9xMovies serves as a reminder
In 2004, a major turning point in the battle against 9xMovies came when the site's alleged owner, a 25-year-old Indian national, was arrested by local authorities. The arrest was a significant blow to the site, and it marked the beginning of the end for 9xMovies.
The rise and fall of 9xMovies serve as a cautionary tale about the risks and consequences of online piracy. The site's notorious reputation and subsequent shutdown marked a significant shift in the way authorities and the film industry approached piracy. The incident also highlighted the need for legitimate online platforms that offer affordable and accessible content to consumers.
