The other week I tried to roll down my window I hear a loud snap. I later took my door panel off to find one of those clips had broken that hold the regulator/motor on. Fast forward to today a replace both clips and now when i role my window up it binds about half way up. :help

Does this look right or is that little bend in the right one not suppose to be there?

it might play a role... check every component of your window system.. could be a lose bolt.. post pics if it doesn't appear correct..... by u saying the window is not rolling all the way up check the tracking, check the parts that hold the window... good luck

I have managed to get it to role up almost all the way but it appears to be off track. How do i fix this?

Not trying to sound like an asshole or anything.
But look, very carefully, if you can't see it, look more, use logics and check for bolts being lose, bolts usualy have a "stanced" out place when they where originally screwed on, so they leave a mark on how they was on from the beginning, making it easy to see if a bolt has alligned up wrong.
Try rolling the window up and down just a little little bit, making it enough for you to see what's wrong. It should be fairly easy to see what's wrong with the power window.
I've fixed dossens of these on e34's and they all has been easily fixed in one way or another.

I understand what you are saying but I never even touched a bolt. I just simply replaced the slides. This is what it does when i roll it up. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d170/coandcambria69/th_cc9ac5a0.jpg

No, i don't think you undestod me correctly.
I mean, bolts can get lose all by themselves (as things break without a warning). Something caused your problem in the first hand, maybe it was a bolt that came loose. Vibrations tend to ease up on all kinds of bolts on the whole car, by time. It doesn not matter if you've been replacing things or not.
It seems like there is a loose bolt however when i look at the video, which has made the allignment of the power window a little out of line. Logic thinking will solve your problems however
