[QUOTE="antiquer, post: 34530, member: 9960"] Hi guysI just acquired a 2002 e39 2 months back. On the first day of ownership I noticed hissing sound coming from the windscreen as I sat on the passanger side. I touched the screen near the pillar n the sound got louder an the screen was slightly moving outward when pushed while the car was moving only 80kmh. Noticed the rubber lining hardened n broke to pieces.Went to drcermin n he said need to remove the screen n replace the rubber, but the screen most likely will break. So he quoted me a price for new screen installation (forgot how much). He also refused to remove the screen without breaking it as he said most probably will break. So I left.Went to my trusted mech n he said probability to break is low n quoted me new windscreen installation. Way cheaper than drcermin with the same kind of screen. So he installed.Fortunately my screen didnt break. Replaced the rubber n installed the screen back. Windscreen intact but the hissing still heard but this time not as loud as before n only at higher speed (110kmh n above).
