repairing rubber window seals

Recommended Posts

Has anyone got any suggestions on where to get the rubber seals found in the back 1/4 windows of an e36 coupe redone? Has anyone done this themselves (shouldnt be too much of hard job)?

Cheers

Don't think I've ever seen an E36 Coupe without this problem haha.

Let us know how you get on because I'm sure there'll be others interested.

Just buy new ones from the dealer.

Got mine re done around sides and top only for about $100 from Jerry C's.

If they have to take the window out, will cost a bit more.....

Ghetto solution is to get window insurance, then say your back window got smashed by some East Side thugs....

Been there, done that. Got the stuff from Team McM for around $125.00 all up.

Forgot what's the exact part number, but I am sure they can find out.

Done both sides for around an hour total. Taking the window off is the best as you can take the chance to clean and replace properly. Careful not to drop the window at photo 6 & 7.

Tools wise, you'll need a T40 star-shape bit, 16mm and 8mm socket.

The top (curve) rubber don't need anything, they just wedge into place. The bottom one has self adhesive backing. Just make sure the place is VERY clean before it goes on that you'd be sweet. I cleaned it with meths. (dunno how to spell but it's the purple stuff)

Does anyone know of a cheaper supplier as 400 + bucks for a set of rubber seals is a bit excessive. But then again that is BMW

Bringing this old topic back up. Jerry Clayton quoted me $350 for the parts... Team McMilian appears to be way cheaper
