Do you mean the cowl? look on realoem, it's there

 

Has anyone gotten this covered by the factory warranty?

 

Sorry to bump from the grave, but does anyone know if I the window seals can be taken off and put on another car that needs it.

Found a totalled 530 nearby I want to see if I can buy his seals?

Thanks

 

why? the seal is not that expensive new, even at the dealer.

parts were cheaper shipped than anywhere else i found

 

Replaced the rear window seal and the top seal on the windshield today on my 2005 E60. The rear is very easy to do. The windshield was a little tougher to do. It required a lot more effort to get the channel around the glass. Not sure if it's thicker or if there was less space to maneuver the trim in place. The windshield replacement trim has a bead of sealant in the channel that compresses against the edge of the windshield. The rear seal does not use any sealant.

 

I thought I'd share this. I did mine this morning thanks to this thread and that video below that I found on youtube. I hope it help other visualize the process.


Enjoy.

 

Thanks for the Video. I have to do this once the weather warms up. The winter has been rough on the rear seal.

 

+1 I need to get one ordered and replaced as well

 

Here's someone else who isn't very handy at all and just installed both front and rear trims in 45 minutes including the removal of the old ones and the cleaning process. Piece of cake doesn't quite describe how easy this is. I actually did use a screwdriver (carefully, of course), Windex and paper towel for the cleaning and a flat plastic to push the rear trim in and towards the glass (very important). That was it.
