I had mine replaced a couple of years ago due to wind noise.....3 times! The first time the idiots didn't seat the new seal correctly so it was gappy looking at it from the outside, and where the 2 ends meet there was a gap....but it did take care of the wind noise 100%. I took it back and they offered to pull it out, and replace with another new one. This time the seal seated flush, but the wind noise was back Third time was a charm I guess, because with the 3rd seal, it seated flush, and the wind noise was gone
This time though I had to take it back so they could adjust the deflector thing that pops up when the roof is open. For whatever reason it was barley touching the glass and when I would hit a bump it would rattle against the glass. All - n- all the noise was finally taken care of, and covered under warranty.

 

LOL

 

Well, its certainly not the first time... and I doubt it will be the last!

 

Not to hijack my own topic or anything but isn't there also a recent recall or suggested fix for the vacuum system / brake issue?

 

don't feel bad. i was wondering what was causing the wind noise for a while, before i finally decided to just change the seal and see.



yes, there is a recall. no specifics yet on what is getting done, and bmw is suppose to start sending out notices this week i think.
