Hello Everyone,

New to the forum since I can't find an answer or a solution anywhere, to include my repair manual.  Both of my rear window regulators have went out in my 2008 Mini Convertible R52. Both stopped going up and you can hear the plastic teeth crunching inside the body panel.  So my plan is to take them out and send them into Rock Auto to be rebuilt.  Half the price of replacing both new.  Got everything apart and I can't seem to figure out how to get them out of the body panel?  No matter what angle I try the motor jams up on the back end or the lifter housing gets stuck on the body panel near the front.

Has anyone done this repair that can lend of helpful hints?

Thank you for looking.

Adam
