leaky e93 roof
Has anyone experienced a leaky e93 roof when going through an auto car wash? My roof leaks where the convertible top connects with the windshield frame. It only leaks when I am going through an automatic car wash. Does anyone have any solutions/tips to stop the leak?

OMG, you take it through an automatic wash?!?! I guess the first smartass tip would be not to go through auto car washes ;^)
But as to your question, I haven't had any leaks at all in my roof seals. Have you conditioned them ever so they are flexible? I had to just to stop wind noise. |

haha, I typically don't in the summer, but when its 20 degrees hand washing gets a little chilly .
I just picked up the car in November, so I have not. I will check the seals. What do you use to condition them?

BMW has a product for them and the Germans have gummipflug (don't quote my spelling on that), but really you can use any window seal type conditioner or soft rubber conditioner.
Go Pack! |

Prior to my M I had a 335is Cab. Front seal is known issue with E93's. In fact last time I had in the dealer for warranty seal replacement Germany was out of the part due to so many failures. Gummi pflege and Krytox will only go so far. Trust me I know.
