Some BMW 328i convertible owners report experiencing window issues after replacing the hydraulic motor, even without any visible dashboard alerts. These problems may include the driver side window only going up halfway or getting stuck, which could indicate a faulty regulator that might need replacement. Additionally, owners should listen for motor sounds when pressing the window switch; if no sounds are heard, the issue may lie with the switch or a blown fuse. Inspecting and lubricating the window tracks is also recommended, as broken sliders can lead to malfunction. Some owners find that resetting the power window system helps recalibrate the window operation post-replacement. In situations where the window won't go up automatically, manually rolling it up can serve as a temporary solution. Addressing these potential causes can aid in troubleshooting window issues effectively.
