BMW 3 Series E46 Rear Window Regulator Switch — the Door Control Finally Repaired
This rear window regulator switch for the BMW 3 Series E46 replaces the faulty door control, manufacturer part number 61316902174. A rear window that only goes down one out of three times, a push button that stays depressed, or crackling contacts: on an E46, it is almost always the switch that fails, not the window regulator motor — making the repair very affordable.
Designed for Your BMW 3 Series E46
The rocker switch matches the shape, texture, and black finish of the original push button found on the rear door panels of sedans, coupes, Touring, and Compact models. Once clipped in, the assembly returns to perfect alignment with the trim piece: no play, no difference in gloss compared to the adjacent controls, and a push-back feel as firm as on day one.
Technology, Quality & Finish
UV-resistant molded ABS body, calibrated return spring, and plated contact tracks to combat oxidation, the main cause of failure in the original window control after twenty years of service. The connector uses the BMW pin layout, with no adapter or crimping required. Compatible with all gasoline and diesel models in the range, including the M3.
Installation, Compatibility & Durability
Installation requires only a plastic pry tool: unclip the rear door control trim, disconnect the ribbon cable, position the new window switch, and clip it back in. Fifteen minutes is all it takes, with no coding or diagnostic tool required. E46 models have seen several years of interior trim updates: compare the connector shape and the part number engraved on the back of your original part before installation to ensure compatibility.
Don't replace the entire door for a button: order your E46 rear window switch now.
