Hi,

I've just bought a 325i cabriolet and there is a hell of a rattle from the windows, both when up and down. Any ideas on how to reduce or fix....seals away maybe?

Cheers,
Nicky.

If my windows are up fully and I try to shut the door the glass hits off the convertible top, is this due to badly aligned windows or the top, I need to lift the top edge up and then shut the door to get it to fit under the hood??

Im having the same problem on my drivers side window when fully up t hits the rear quater window trim (black part) and door doesnt close so I always leave the window few mm down to let me close the door. Can this be sorted by adjusting the screws shown in that diagram.

p.s. how do I remove the door panels? is it just the case of removing the two screws under the arm rest and pulling the door card off?

:?
