ROOF TRIM
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I recently had the windscreen replaced (see my other posts) got the car back and the roof trim do not look as though it had been replaced correctly. Tonight I noticed that it had come loose. Not the best photo, but it appears the fixing has com me unstuck. Can you get replacement fixing? And if so, what is the reference for them? Thanks in advance [IMG][/IMG] |

I had the same thing on mine. Looks like the same location - passenger side just above the rear glass. I've seen a couple posts about this - apparently those trim pieces on the carbon fiber roof are prone to this. Not sure how it works in the UK, but in the US the dealer wants you to come in for a visual inspection so they can determine which pieces to order, and then go back a second time for the repair.

i had the same problem on mine as i ppf'ed roof trim along with the roof. A single clip came undone on one side towards the rear window causing black trim to lift up a bit. After inspection i realized that bmw simply didnt use strong enough sealant.. i cleaned the surface really well and then applied 3m adhesion promoter then 3m automotive double side tape.. since then i've had no issue in hot or cold temps. Give that a try..

Same thing happened to me. I took it to the dealer, they told me to come back. I just used gorilla glue double sided tape and was done with it. Took 2 minutes. Not worth the hassle of going back to the dealer and dropping it off.

we had the same problem. the issue is, bmw now uses two sides tape to hold the clip to the CF. the two sided tape comes loose, and ends up popping up the trim. it's fucking archaic. you can see the tape in the first picture stuck to thw CF.
if dealer won't fix, remove the two sided tape on the CF, clean it nicely, then put strong glue. |

if you have to remove it its not hard.. especially with the back clip already lifted.. i started in the rear and worked my way to a-pillar.. here is a link to thread on how to do it i did early last year..
