    Question Upper door weather strip between the door and glass question

    Hello,

    My new to me 04 325xi has an issue with the weather strip at the top of the drivers door. It is pulling apart near the side view mirror. The passenger side appears to not be far behind. Does anyone know what the actual name is for this part, or a part number? The window also seems to come "off track", so I guess while I am at it I need to put a regulator in it also?

    Is there any way to upload a pic here?

    Thanks in advance for some help.

    Welcome to the Forum!

    Are you talking about #5 here: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=51_3225

    Or #12 here: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=51_3253

    One goes around the glass, while the other goes around the whole door.

    Neither. It is the strip that goes on the top of the metal of the door, between the metal and the window. At the same level as the rear view mirror.

    also to install you can either lube the crap out of the front edge and hope it slides under the mirror or you will have to loosen the mirror assembly from door a bit and install. Be carefull installing it as to not bend it or try to remove it once pressed onto the top of the door.

    Awesome! Thank you. That's it.

    Do you have any suggestion for it seeing like the window is coming off track?

    Have you ever replaced the regulator? The BMW regulators are made by B.R.O.S.E which means Broken Regulators Our Special Enterprise. While the OEM ones last an average of 10 years, they still last longer than the cheap ones.

    I would remove the window to ease the install of the window guide.

    I just got the car on the road a few weeks ago. I guess I should get the regulator and do it all at once? Any recommendations for where to purchase?

    I like these guys: www.thebmwminipartstore.com

    The are a forum sponsor, and ship rather quickly at a good rate. You can use the P/N from the realoem website, and normally they will get it shipped to you in a couple of days.
