2015 X1 windshield weatherstrip loose

Anybody ever had the windshield weatherstripping on an X1 come loose? Should that be glued in, or is it just held in by compression?

:hi: To the forum.

I don’t remember anyone reporting/asking about this in the past.Which strips are you having trouble with?

There is a rubber weatherstrip along the top that has an aluminium inlay within that the screen itself fits into. That is glued in with a bonding tape that comes as supplied from the factory. If it’s that one then you may need a complete new one.

Also two gutter strips (one each side) that are held on the special clips. Those should be available from a dealership.

Have a look at RealOEM and use the last 7 characters of your VIN to pull up the right parts list. The data hasn’t been updated since 12/2019 due to BMW changing to an on-line, Dealer access only system, but as yours is 2015, the parts will show up. I think glass and trim come under the ‘Vehicle Trim’ section.
