One of the most common leaks on the BMW Z3 is the gap that forms on the top of the "A" pillar rubber seal where it meets the front edge of the main seal of the convertible top. We attempt to stop that leak today using a silicone based sealant (which I don't recommend and you'll see why).
Check out this video next!

More details and cleaning up the look of the repair.
Permatex Sealant (what I used, but DON'T recommend):
amzn.to/3y4xCCY
Permatex Rubber Sealant (I think I would try this first):
amzn.to/3ul4WV3
3M product (this is another possibility):
amzn.to/3OFIe2h

If no one mentioned it earlier Flex Seal makes a rubber paste that is thicker than the silicon or 3M product and is nearly a perfect match that is easier to smooth out. Thanks for all the great videos.

Just tried out this flex seal on my 2000 z3. Color matches perfect and shears extremely well, would highly recommend using flex seal for this purpose!

@@MomentofZed I just looked it up. The door pulls are just under $800.00 depending on the source. Apparently, the integrated plastic mounting points snap. I saw one youtuber trying to fix it with a combination of JB weld and photo-reactive glue.

My pleasure! I think this ended up being a "what not to do video" more than anything. If you've got a big gap like mine, I wouldn't use the runny silicone. I may end up putting a rubber patch on mine, right now it looks like snot. You may see that next week.

You put a q tip in the drain hole. Which direction does it go? Down the a post or across the top of the wind screen? I tried pushing something down the hold but it doesn’t seem to go more than a couple of inches? Should it go further?
@MomentofZed
@MomentofZed Месяц назад
Down the post if I remember correctly. I did it to make sure I didn't leak any sealant in there.

My Z3 leaking by the top of the passenger window. Whats the fix for that?
@MomentofZed
@MomentofZed 3 года назад
Mine does too. What I can see is similar to the video; light entering, but this time between two segments of the rubber seal across the top of the passenger window. Check those "joints" and if you see light coming through, you have the same issue I do. My plan is to do the same thing I did in the latest video (an update to the one you commented on). That is, fashion two very small inner tube patches, one for each seal, held on with silicone. If you haven't seen the update, check out the video I posted on 5/2. Thanks for watching and subbing!
