aja540i 1906 Report post Posted April 6, 2018 Does anyone have a laptop with ISTA (or some kind of software) on it that could pop open the tailgate glass on my e61? I need to replace the switch and i don't really feel like smashing the plastic cover off the inside of the tailgate to get the glass open!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aja540i 1906 Report post Posted April 6, 2018 Yeah, easy if the plastic cover is not there, but you can't remove the cover in one piece without opening the glass... it's a chicken/egg scenario. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
