Default New 540i/6 owner with a few Qs

I just picked up a 99' 540i/6 and am loving every minute I drive it. So far the three issues I've ran into are:

1) several dead pixels on the dash, would it be cheaper to repair it or replace?
2) Rear window stopped rolling down/up, I can hear the motor run but it sounds like it slipped and makes loud thud sounds. Any DIY links to remove the panel and maybe realign the window?
3) Trunk shock mounts are shot, it feels very heavy to open the trunk, any cheap repair to this or just replacing them would be best?

BTW, I come from a long line of Mercedes (CLK500, S55, C55, etc.) and my experience so far is I've found the ultimate driving machine! :thumbup:
