BMW E92 Coupe Windshield Trim Replacement Seal: 3 Series Tech Tips

[@jaysnyder7367]

Great DIY video. Much easier than I thought. I thought the whole windshield would need to be removed.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Glad it was helpful

​@@ZeroTo60TubeHey yea dude I just got my car painted and I asked the guy can he do my trim. They're acting like it's a big big job and you have to remove the front and back window etc smh. How do I get my hands on this trim?

Used isopropyl to remove old residue and came out nicely! Also dont have the metal piece on my 2008 335xi - super easy job! Great video

[@andrewhutchison1350]

Fantastic video! Old moulding came out and new one went in just as shown in the video! I was in the same boat as alot of other comments, told "windscreen NEEDS to come out and because of how much pressure we need to apply it could possibly crack... anyway here's a quote for $900"🙄

[@RomeoGoesRetro]

cheers for this guys, did it today. took 45mins. like new now.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

It makes such a difference doesn't it. Glad you got it done yourself.

[@richardporter6201]

Thanks for video, just did it today pretty easy old one looked really bad. I used Goo Off and my fingernail to remove the old adhesive and pressed down on the window while rolling the old trim out. Video about replacing the door window seals might be idea.

[@conor_kelly]

My old seal started flapping in the wind if I go above 60kph 😂. Gotta love Australian climate. Good video guys.

[@johnmichaelkarma]

haha, Same, got a fluttering sound into the cabin.After exclaiming wtf is that and worrying for about 10 minutes I remembered I had a loose fragmented piece. After tearing off the 2 inch long piece the sound went away. After watching this vid I felt better about a low cost fix.

[@rkwoodruff9]

Mine was deteriorated a lot more than this one was, I had a hell of a time getting all the old rubber out from under the glass. It's not an easy job if it's that bad.

[@nealfoster2982]

Thought this was a windscreen out jobby. Buzzin to find this tutorial

[@erickromero010]

I did this a while ago. All my towels were getting caught on the chipped one. Got mine for 25 or so and very satisfying install. Still looking for the bottom moulding

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Ahhh been there before. So annoying when you are drying off your perfectly clean car and a piece of rotten rubber grabs the towel and smears across the paint.... So lucky to get yours for $25, did you get it through BMW?

[@ExpeditionSALTSailing]

Where did you order it? Part number?

[@aloysius1117]

Just did the change thanks to you guys and it was really easy! Just needed some time to get the gunk off

[@sargsyanruben]

Thanks for this guys, did it today, there was only metal stays on old one, rubber completely died. Now it looks great.

[@Fangirlclubeditz]

I just cracked my windshield on my e92 using this DIY. I wish you guys would have specified about the risk of cracking the windshield when using the “up and out” & “twist and pull” method you recommend.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Dude that sucks so much. Did you work out why it cracked if you were twisting it away from the screen as you pulled it up? I have only done 4 of these now, but never had any issues. But that said i dont put any force on the edge of the glass. Is there a chance your screen had been replaced and it might have been sitting closer to the metal of the car body, which in turn would make twisting it more difficult.

[@reinaldodimas448]

Why on mine the top corners wouldn’t stick? Everything else on sides stocked but just the left and right top corners would stick?

[@MaxRevs911]

Nice video and good explanation!

[@legendarypanda6736]

What is the part number for this by chance?

[@yamahaxs6501]

Great video. Mine is toast and it's good to know it's so simple to do.

[@BalconX]

Hi guys, which trim removal tool do you recommend? Can you share a link of the ones you actually use in this video? Thanks.

[@k.c.r1884]

I'll just smash my windscreen and get insurance to replace my glass and rubber 🤣

[@rideforyourlife1473]

Does it exist for bmw e63 2005 ?

[@hectorespinoza7641]

Can I use goo gone and a heating gun my car came with silicone on the windshield

[@itsmee9779]

Guys did you prep the surface with any rubber removing solution or clean the surface with alcohol to ensure a good stick ? l may have missed those bits if you did

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Yes. It’s what took the most time. We used Brake clean and then wax and grease remover. This car was back for a tail light install this week and the mould is all still in place nicely. You are right to be concerned tho, it’s a very important step.

[@TheBroseph]

Thanks for this tutorial guys! Any recommendations for solvent solution? 70%isopropyl with some water mixed in a spray bottle? Think that’ll do?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

That will probably be fine. If you want an off the shelf version, wax and grease remover will definitely do the job.

[@ExpeditionSALTSailing]

Do you happen to have the part number for a 2007 e92 couple windscreen seal? I need to do this to mine. Thanks for a brilliant video blokes!

[@kaiservigs]

This is the one I used for 2008 335xi 51317119711

What's the part# for coupe BMW? Should be in the description 🤷

[@williamdgh7942]

Every time I want to do something with my 335i you’ve got a video for it! Thanks. Where did you get it from? BMW dealership?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Haha yes it feels like it. Yes I got mine from coastline bmw it was under $100 from memory.

[@williamdgh7942]

@@ZeroTo60Tube Cheers, I got a set from AliExpress. They said it’s for the E92 but it’s nothing like the oem one, no metal piece, no double sided tape. I guess I’m going to the dealership tomorrow.

[@bavarianhero]

Would the front window trimming be the same as the rear because I need both but I can’t find if it’s universal?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

The rear is definitely different. The front sort of clips on the to glass. Where the rear sits between the glass and the body. I have seen people use generic trim on the rear. Which you can't do with the front.

[@bavarianhero]

@@ZeroTo60Tube I was going to use permatex gasket sealer, only because the corners needs it the most. I have seen a body shop do that for a costumer before. Only because I need to save a buck. I finally figured out the last part of the puzzle for the 335i it’s the negative battery cable it’s called IBS. I’m going to buy it but at this point I’m debating wether or not I should buy the window seals as well.

[@derekrighter951]

Big Help...Thank You !!!

[@rgviper]

So where did you buy it from?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

BMW dealership

[@TonyBrQ]

Interesting to see this. The equivalent trim on my car is still fine, but I am concerned at the point where it joins the trim which runs across the bottom edge of the screen. The bottom edge trim sits on top of the side trim, but leaves a gap, and loads of crud and moisture ends up in the void underneath the corner of the screen, which seems like a recipe for rust. It is just an overlap and not a tight/snug fit. Have you ever changed this bottom edge trim? Should I use some adhesive to close and seal this overlap point?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

I haven’t changed the lower trim. But I don’t think that needs to seal. To be fair even this trim is just to keep dust and dirt out of the channel. It’s not an actual seal. The lower one you can see will just be for looks, I would repair it however, as long as it’s not something that might be hard to remove in the future

[@TonyBrQ]

@@ZeroTo60Tube - just a follow-up thank you for the really clear and useful explanation of the process to replace this trim. I finally (yes, 2 years later..) got around to doing this over the weekend, and it was really easy once you understand the potential pitfalls. It took me less than 2 hours start/finish with the biggest task being to ensure that all the old gunk was properly cleaned out. The new trim looks so much better than the tired old trim. The only thing that is not quite perfect is that one of the top corners does not seem to have settled quite as close to the surface as the other side (by a couple of mm) but I did not want to risk damaging the trim, or the screen by forcing it down closer to the surface. At the bottom end of each side, I think I will apply some rubber adhesive to ensure that everything is water tight as a simple push fit does not achieve that. Thanks again, guys!

[@alejandromanuelpalacios2956]

will the one for an e93 fit on an e92?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

No

[@enedifanovaha7713]

Can you cut the size if to long ?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Not with an OEM one, however they are the right size.

[@j.p.8595]

you reckon its safe to hose it down to clean the channel?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Absolutely, the strip we replace in this video is really just a trim, the seal for water in under it.

[@simonhaycocks]

I dont know why i haven't youtubed this before and realised it can be done with the screen in place. I also presumed the trim would be stupidly expensive but its not, about £40 on ebay! Mine needs doing because its gone all brittle and for some reason the crows round here seem to like the taste of rubber and have pecked away at the fat part at the bottom corners of the screen! Weird. I do have a couple of chips in my screen so not sure if it will pass it's annual test (MOT) next time. Does anybody know if the seal trim is renewed when a new screen is fitted?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Yes definitely, they only have a one use adhesive on them, so if they change the screen they will fit a new one of these trims.
