BMW E34 540i/6 window motor fix

On youtube he explains it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGmMmUPjtsQ
"If your window motors still turn and you hear a click click click it is the metal plate slipping over the white plastic gear. I bought replacement white gears but found just putting some fine thread screws in several of the plate holes provided a better bid between the plate and gear. All 4 windows did not go up on their own at all but work very well now. Be sure to clean and re lube the inside of the gears with silicone lube."

Matters on year, my 95 did not have the option of using screws and the gears available do not fit either. This would have worked on the 94, it had a different motor design.

Unfortunately he did not mention the E34 model year.

The window gear was different and not removable, this was on 06/94 build date 530. Did not compare it to the 06/93 530. The whole assembly can be swapped out though.
