Replacing Rear Window Seals

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Body

The seals around the rear defroster window are actually a type of frame fixed under pressure: to replace them, you need to remove the old seals starting from the side ones and then take off the top and bottom ones; once the four strips are removed, thoroughly clean the respective seats, eliminating any dirt and buildup, dry the surfaces perfectly, and insert the new seals, starting with the top and bottom ones, then applying the side ones, ensuring they adhere perfectly by pressing along the edge with a plastic stick.
