MINI COOPER

[Guest tintgod]

I just trigger the window with the door latch..

[Guest tintious]

speaking of those bmw's where the heck is the fuse for those windows, I have just been pulling the battery terminals off. when I get em cuz I could not find the fuse for the life of me. but when I pull the term off. I have to let the whole system reset it's self. and when I have a customer waiting . they get nervous like I broke the car

There is a fuse box under the hood. pop the cover off and if I can remember right it is #14. It is also listed on the inside of the cover. Make sure you dont take it out unless you have the doors closed. I just in form the customer to put the fuse back in after 3 days, and show them where it goes.

Why would you pull the fuse? I just do what TG said and set the latch in the door making the window think that the door is closed.

Yep...triggering the latch takes all of 3-5 seconds.... why not do it that way?

Oh man, I did one of these last week (my first one) and it is hands down the easiest car Ive ever done (next to the 99-04 Mustangs). It took me about 1 hr. 15 min. and it came out perfect! Yeah, all I do is click the door latches over and the windows stay up. very very easy

I have one of these coming up soon do you have to shrink the back window? it doesn't look like you have to but I havn't been up close enough yet to see.

[blade]

yes you need to

I found if you click the snib over with a screwdriver where the mechanism engages the door striker with the door open you fool the door into thinking its closed and the window pops up all the way. This method works on most vehicles where the windows drop slightly to allow the door to close. Just dont forget to flick the handle again as if you were opening the door to return the system to normal.

OK, be honest, how many of you have closed the door WITHOUT reseting the latch? I h@te to admit it but I have a few times. What an awful sound. And your like "OH GOD please dont let it be screwed up!"
