    97 M3 - Windows stuck after door panel removal

    Searched but couldn't find anything relevant...



    I'm in the process of revitalizing my M3, trying to get it as close as possible to when I drove it off the lot 20 years ago (many thanks to all the DIY contributors on here, I've learned alot!)



    Anyway I pulled off both my door panels to replace the clips. Windows were in the down position when I did this (per the video in the DIY section). I wanted to replace my door handle gaskets while the panel was off so I tried to raise them and no go. Both DS and PS are stuck. I can hear a click with a slight movement when I try to raise them but that's it. Same with doors open or closed and engine running.



    Appreciate any guidance....

    Just figured it out ..



    There's a sensor on the door frame. The door latch hooks onto it, allowing windows to open/close. With the door panel off the latch can't activate the sensor, has to be done manually.
