At a Dead End with my Sunroof
The sun shades in my 2014 XI have deteriorated and were hanging down. I know there has probably been a lot written about this already
I have accessed the TIS maintenance sheets, gone to YouTube, and searched numerous forums. I have read that there are 4 bolts to remove the rear glass panel. But I can not find these anywhere, I have removed the front glass panel, and the two sliding panels, along with the entire inside roof panel. Please, some one help me with removing the rear glass panel |

This is about as good as I can find.
I really hope this gets you there. Good luck

I haven't seen these two TIS pages on the website I have been using. After an initial look, it appears that this requires some kind of modification kit, and removing the entire sunroof frame.
Thanks a lot. I have been told by others that the entire frame most be removed, and this looks very scary of a DIYer |

I am a highly capable DIYer but I opted to have this repair done by professionsls... Whole headliner has to come down, glass removal, glide parts replaced ( even if not broken, they will break...)
two days, 10 hours labor and parts, cover, etc. Estimate was $1,800 USD , goin in the end of July |

If you are able to, get ahold of ISTA+ (this is where this came from), Rheingold, or something similar. You can get an incredible wealth of information from them. Sorry I don't have more information on this actual procedure, but it seems clear BMW never intended for this to come apart, which is a pity. The sunroof seems like it could mechanically total the car.

My son had a 2003 BMW, which the same thing happened to, now its my 2014. This problem has been happening for a long time and appears to be quite common. Seems to me that a Class Action Suit may be appropriate

I posted a thread on how I eventually repaired my roof. Wish I had figured this out before I took the roof lining out. See post https://f48.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=183915
