Replacing Front Windshield and Rear Glass Rubber Gasket/Weatherstripping

NB STIG · 08-01-2023, 11:39 AM

Does anyone know the procedure to remove and replace the rubber gasket/weatherstripping around the windshield and rear glass for a coupe BMW M3 e46? I have seen videos for an E39, but I have not found any videos/procedures for the E46.

I already have the OEM replacement parts for both, front and back glass. Unfortunately, I haven't found information on how to do the removal and replacement. Does anyone have any pictures or videos of the procedure for a E46? Please help!

Thank you all, but I was able to figure it out on my own. By the way, I can confirm that you can remove both, front and rear weatherstripping, with no issues.

This is true. BUT only if your windshield hasn’t previously been replaced. If the windshield is still oem you’re good to go be careful
