A few tips on installing e28 window motors

As I stated no relays originally

I just saw your most recent post, but had missed your original question last year. By now, you have probably long since solved your problem. But just out of curiosity, what was interfering? Sorry, but "elbow pin interferes with the motor housing" didn't mean much to me. What is an "elbow pin"? Where on the motor housing did it encounter interference? I don't suppose you have pictures.

I have put e28 motors into both the F and R window regulators on my e9 and don't think that I encountered the sort of interference that you refer to. But then, since I don't really understand your issue, I can't say much more than that I didn't need any washers to space the motor back from the regulator frame.

So, I was pulled over by Austin's finest on my way home from an early evening out (kids & dog in car) and the officer had to wait about 2 minutes for my driver window to reach half way down. After he stopped laughing he looked inside and said, "you have enough things going on here-I think you need to just go home"

Holy smoke! Now I understand why you have interference with the motor - it's mounted on the wrong side of the frame. You have it facing the outer side, while the factory put the motors facing the inner side. See the photos in post #2 of this thread.
