How do we loosen tension on a BMW E39 front window regulator anyway?
EDIT: MatWiz helped us focus on the spring in order to come up with a nearly effortless technique (see post #25, patent pending) which easily loosens & tightens the tremendous cable tension notch by notch.
This almost effortless tensioning method is not documented anywhere else on the Internet to our knowledge! What is the trick to loosening the tension on a BMW E39 front door window regulator where the cable has jumped off the wheel? If it's obvious how ... I don't see it. Here is my 'bench' test apparatus: And, here is the problem: Q: What's the procedure for loosening the cable tension to get it back on the last roller? NOTE: 1) This was the original bmw 2002 525i E39 front driver side window regulator repair DIY 2) This was an update that added the window regulator a year later 3) This is yet another update that attempts to detension the window regulator
