Will this window regulator mechanism fit?

[parkerbink]

I need a mechanism and there are several on eBay the ones I am looking at all look like this but one says it fits all but Convertibles. Anyone know if there is a differance and how do I know for sure?


Thanks

I can tell you that looks NOTHING like the ones in my '87 325is. I pulled a crank-type regulator out of a '84 318i and installed it in my passenger side, after removing the crank mechanism.

To me, that looks like a regulator out of a domestic, like a GM, which I have done dozens of.

I would check carefully on that, man.

It looks like the one in my car but as we know when dealing with car parts looks can be decieving.

That looks just like the one out of my 1990 325is. Not sure of the difference between the convertible and the hardtop though.

The regs. changed in 88 so that's the 88 newer one.

And you don't think theres a cabrio differance? Mine looks like that one. But I haven't taken it out so there's as much of it I can't see as I can see.

Ely you have cash!

Thanks

There may be, and there may not be I have no idea. Have you check out the ETK to compare part nubmers?

I must be crazy cause I can't find any glass/window related parts.
