I had 3 of 4 replaced under warranty... Now the final one is shot, left rear. My project tomorrow! Seems to be a very common issue for the D5,

New regulator fixed the issue. Fingers crossed this one will fare better than the last. Putting that middle screw in is quite difficult!

This should not happen to a 2020 model year!

Took me about an hour and a half. Hardest part for me was getting the door panel back on by myself. The door handle cable kept popping out.

I couldn't believe how clean the inside of my door was considering all of the muddy water I've driven through. Figured I'd see some residue.

Back at it again... Now my front passenger window needs another regulator. This has already been replaced under warranty.

These dealers definitely give the brand a horrid reputation.

it isn't only the dealerships. I think there is a general attitude that if you have an LR, you (1) don't know anything about cars and (2) you have money to burn. Fortunately, I found an indy who specializes in LRs and due to sharing a home country with my wife gives us great prices.
