    power windows

    Do your windows normally go all the way into the door so you can't see them at all? Mine stick about a 1/8th of an inch above the window seal.

    They should go all the way down.

      I have seen 3 E30's with this problem, including my old one.


      Never fixed it, never could figure it out :?

        Yeah, its crazy how many quirks these cars can have. my temp gauge wobbles, my windows dont go all the way down, and the passenger door lock pin is tilted.

            Maybe it's a 2 door thing? Mine stick up a bit too.

            I replaced my passenger side motor last fall - didn't really see any way to adjust it.

              That's what I was beginning to think...

              Anyone with a two door without the problem??

                My two door does it; a 4 door e30 I had didn't do it. I think it might be a 4 door thing.

                    The rod is bent. Unscrew the knob and grab it with the vise grips.

                      EVERY 2 door E30 I have seen has the window "thing"

                      Don't think it's a problem on four doors.

                        My 4 door's windows roll all the way down. So does my bud's 4 door.

                        Maybe its more prominent in 2 doors since the window glass is bigger and heavier, maybe window components wear out faster. :?
