E60 Windshield Water Leak (from the Rear View Mirror)

[Subway 5]

Heavy down pour last week and had a reasonable amount of water come from the top of the windscreen around where the rear view mirror is

I'm guessing the rubber seal needs replacing, although it doesn't look cracked, is it a DIY job or novus/smith and smith etc?

The windscreen is bonded in, and the seal is basically decorative.

The screen needs to come out to reseal properly, if it's the issue (shouldn't be!)

Do you have a sunroof? It's a more likely candidate and the water is running across the top of the headlining and escaping there.

Yeah no sunroof, did see some stuff on the net around the channels, gave novus a call as it has novus stickers on it, they've said the same as you that its a decorative seal and will fix it for free for me as its still under warranty
