Fixing a very common BMW issue. Water will leak into your car through the gab between the door and the door panel. Often caused by a loose door seal. Hope this DIY will help you.
Hair dryer? Ok. But a sealant gun ( the kind of thing you use for applying silicone sealant around a bath) would be easier, quicker AND guaranteed to work. Butyl roofing and gutter sealant costs a couple of euros a tube. It's the same stuff they use in the factory. I've used it loads of times when doing door speaker upgrades on both beammers and mercs ( mercs have exactly the same issue)
I have done this fix a couple of times. Re using the old kit normally work fine. You can use silicon as well. It will do the job. It is an annoying bmw issue.
When you still have warranty yes. But normally this occurs after 5 years. Had the same issue with my BMW f10 from 2010. Water was leaking into the car. I agree that for a premium brand like BMW this is really not acceptable. To fix it you you have to spend a couple of hours of your time but it is an easy way to save money.
did you unplug the battery to unplug the airbag or just unplug the airbag. I heard if just unplugging the batter there's a good chance that it might go off. just wondering
Amazon_Reject Amazon_Reject actually i didnt unplug the battery. Nothing went off. But if you want to be sure just unplug the battery 10 minutes before you start with the job.
Graziano Laudisio wij waren de derde eigenaar. De X3 is vervangen voor een Mini Countryman. De X3 is een zeer fijne wagen. Het is natuurlijk belangrijk dat hij al zijn onderhoud op de juiste momenten heeft gehad. Helaas zijn er vaak problemen met de tussenbak. Die gaat stuk en dat kost je snel 1500 a 2000 euro. Dus let er goed op of er nog een originele onderzit of dat deze inmiddels vervangen is.
Tee McCallum I totally agree. Unfortunately there are so many common problems with many bmw models. It isn't easy to get them fixed under warranty. But still it is my favourite brand and I dont want to change 🙃🙃
Shouldn't have to use nails in the first place, a pick used by anyone who plays guitar would be a much simple start, plastic pry tool as well as bicycle tire lever too.
