Has to be adjusting the front windows.

For some reason without the glass in the mechanism is silky smooth and fast. Put the glass in and it struggles to get the window closed.

Any one have a quick guide or howto on adjusting this on a pre-facelift model.

Wilki only lists facelift.

There's a reason BMW completely revised the window mechanism, mid production.
