Ummm...not quite sure what that means. They had to be fused somehow at the factory, so it would seem they could be re-fused (so to speak). It may be BMW's policy to just replace it, but that doesn't mean it can't be glued back together.

On my Lotus Elise, almost immediately after I got it, the lining started separating from the soft top. So Lotus replaced it. But when they got inundated with loose linings. they suddenly decided they could re-glue them, rather than replace them.
