Why? wells it's clear that this is just a 'fix' (could it be called a bodge?) and it does not solve the real problem which is bad design, and/or poor quality materials used in the windscreen surround. Because the 10mm tape patches are spread at intervals along the top of the windscreen the rubber will now not sit totaly flat against the bodywork of the roof panel. As water can find itself through the smallest of openings will this now mean that water will get trapped between the rubber and panel eventualy leading to rust?
The solution? BMW have admitted the design fault by authorising the 'fix'. The windscreen rubber surround should be re designed/manufactured and correctly fitted to cars affected.
I make no apologies for the above as BMW is a premium brand and should not accept sub standard components/fixes.  |
I´m totally agree with you.
WE NEED A SERIOUS SOLUTION!!!!!
