My door used to be hard to close, now it is easy and the current seal shows no signs of wear.

But is it sealing? j/k
HW said:what really bugs me is that i had this problem back in summer 2000 and knew that it was the weatherstripping rubbing that was causing my door not to close properly. now i'm sure that bmw has many reports of this knows that this is a problem but they don't have a new part or reliable fix for it!if they don't have one soon before my warranty is over and i'm having to pay for these weatherstrippings out of my own pocket then i'm going to be really really mad

HW said:yep, moving the panel forward was fix #2 which worked for a bit but the problem is that the weatherstrip would not stay in place. the pressure from the door pressing on it would push the weatherstrip out and bit.
HW said:i don't think using super glue was a fix that i was hoping for. i read/heard that super glue absorbs water. not exactly a good choice for a water seal.
They're supposed to use (can't remember the exact name) but the TSB fix was a cement type glue, similar to what they use to bond the windshield. I was with the BMW tech rep in person, he showed me the glue and I also seen it in action...My drivers side has been there almost a year and has not budged. Man that shi t is like concrete...HW said:After fix #4 the weatherstripping is still coming loose. They had another attempt of glueing it w/ black urethane. This is just not working! :banghead:![]()
HW said:i didn't see that tsb at www.alldata.com ??? could they have stopped putting tsb's on that site?
