On a day like today all the cab windows will have gone soft and be "drooping" slightly M8

post up a pic if you're concerned, sound fine to me TBH though.

I tried when mine unzipped itself and gave up, it's very difficult and you did well to get it in at all.

Assuming its a BMW part and a BMW hood it should fit reasonablybut the guy who did mine for me did say that the hood hole does shrink whereas the window doesn't and the older the hood the flappier the window. Obviously more flappy on a day like today, but then you'll have the hood down. Not much help other than to confirm its a known problem.
