This is a common problem for the touring series, 3 and 5 series when the glass hatch stops working due to moisture getting in to the micro switch and causing it to stop working.
My dealer would charge me 150 euro to get this switch changed but you can easily buy one for like 10 dollars and then change it yourself now that you can open the hatch. Or change out the diversity antenna which also includes opening the glass hatch.

Hi. Really thanks from Slovakia! This is much better as cut wires, or disassemble half of car, when you are not sure what really is broken. How me right now. I was not sure if switch is broken or something other, and now I dont hawe another new switch. So for know what is broken, this is fully proffesional and elegant work !! Thanks and have a nice day.
Thanks very much.
I couldn't get the rear window open, the key didn't work, and I was driving myself crazy to open it. Watching your video I figured out how to do it, I also managed to repair the key, in a very simple way, with a piece of electric wire. Looking forward to buying a new key.
Thanks for posting this it was really helpful!😌

Great tip, saved me hours. Thanks.
what does he mean by pull on it, if you put screw driver in the hole then pull on it you will just pull it out of the hole surely
@@michaelthompson1254 not pull it in the same way you inserted it, you pull it to the side
@@augustlandstorp9236 sorry, can you please explain to which side to pull? Direction front, rear of the car or up or down? It's not working for me straight away..
Got it working! Great. Small Allen key and pulling towards back of car. Happy!
Works perfectly with a smaller Allen key + thank you
many tks. you solve me a big problem !!!
Thanks :)
Thanks
Thank you so much for this video!
You're great!
Thank you
top you a best thx so much
I’m trying this tomorrow
Tackar!
Or, you just remove the wiper with the glass closed, pull off the switch, cut the two wires, peel off some insulation and join them together and it will pop it open. The button is broken and you will be replacing it anyway. ;)
Only works if the button is the problem, often it’s the wiring in the hinge or a faulty diversity antenna, both requires opening the glass hatch
found this really useful on my E91, but since changed to an F31 and have found the tailgate release pull, but not the one for the rear glass. can anyone please point me in the right direction?
How can I reprogram the key fob to open the tailgate window?
What about opening that split window when boot lid is out from the car? :)
Should be same process
thanks, mine opens using diagnostic software but the button does not work, i tired with a new one but it didn't fix the problem. also the remote doesn't work
Needs new diversity antenna maybe
@@autoagge1015 thanks, I fixed the problem. some cables were broken
Hey! Do you know if all E91 have this bootable window? Have to change the whole tailgate and it's hard to know if it'll all fit or not, when looking at spares.
All E91 (wagons) have the bootable windows, it’s the same window on all models. Make sure you buy from the same car you have (pre facelift or facelift)
In e61 the same?
Yeap, they use the same mechanism, but may slightly be in a other location
would the same work for the F31 model?
Same setup but components are updated and it may be in slightly different location
is this valid for e39 as well?
Most likely yes
mine is opening itself when im starting the car😆 someone got tips?
Moisture in diversity antenna or in the button.
I can’t find the whole on my e91
It’s there, remove some insulation to get more access
Same problem with mine:(
