Hello All,
SIZE: Lots of good information for the DIY Door Leak repair....except for the size of the 3M Windo-weld. Some threads mention 3/8" and others mention 1/4". 3M also makes a 5/16". Is there a size specified by BMW.
TEMP: Is there a recommended minimum temperature at which this product should not be applied below. I could not find this info at 3M's web site.
After reading many threads, I removed the barriers and cleaned the residue from both the door panels and the barrier. For the door, I took photos so I could copy the route of the original seal. I then removed the sealant, cleaned the residue with "Goof-Off" solvent, then removed any residual solvent with Windex. The barrier took a lot more labor. Using one of the thread recommendations, I used the balled-up sealant to dab off the remaining sealant from the barrier.
I'm going to wait until I can get to a friends heated garage to reapply the new Windo-Weld....once I determine the correct size.
Thanks for any information on the sizing.
