Rubber trim falling off on rear windshield

Anyone else have this occur?? I'm taking it in for the TCU recall next week and have them fix it.

Yes, I and few others have had this. In a prior thread, one member said to simply squeeze the trim between your fingers, which makes the opening smaller. It will fit more snugly against the glass.

This has solved the problem for me and others.

3 times, that ridiculous, would this fall under the lemon law?

This always happens to the right side of mine. I'm gonna betalink it to the window.

Good to know I'm not the only one. Guess I could put that betalink to use.

Same here and for my frd's 325i. I had it replace on on last sat. And it is falling again yesterday when i check on it. Could the hot summer heat be the cause?

I'm pretty sure ska had it on his car too, I remembered him posting pics about ti

Bimmer325 · 07-27-2006, 08:24 AM

is betalink similar to 3M double sided tape?
Can it be fixed with Silicone Glass Sealant?

Willy325i · 04-19-2008, 05:31 AM

Same problem here from Kuwait, can I use silicon instead?

I don't remember shits falling off or rattling in my e36 M3.

Same here, having it fixed on Monday along with both front door panels and TCU upgrade. I also need to have the rears replaced along with center console.
