Help! rubber piece came off - rear windshield
The lower rubber piece came half-way off on the rear glass
I just pushed it back in.....Do I need to bring it in to a dealer or as long as it stays on I should be fine? I dont want my trunk to get flooded in the rain Thx!

Should be fine, but if it comes loose again have the dealer replace it.
The trunk is sealed by the inner rubber seal seen at the bottom of your 2nd pic

I would bring it in, just in case. Some rain somehow got into my trunk and shorted my audio system. The smell of burning plastic wasn't too pleasant. Result? Replaced the amp, wiring, and a few speakers.

This is a manufacturing fault on the E90. I noticed mine was like that a few weeks after getting the car. I believe a few other people on this forum have reported the same and I bet there are others who have it but haven't noticed yet.
Rather than the mess of bringing it back to the dealer I bought some silcone sealant for windscreen rubbers in a auto repair shop and stuck it back on myself. |

Its only held on by a small amount of low strength adhesive. Its made to be pulled off by hand should your rear windshield need replacement. If there is a problem with a few comming loose, then it would be a problem with the small adhesive strip in the rubber, and it should be fixed under warranty by the dealer

Notice on the inside at the very bottom there are airvent holes on the rear deck When they put on the tint the water they spray goes into these vents and they lead straight to that compartment with the amp or the other side with the battery. Same happened in E46 , and a few of those also blew their amps if they didnt allow the water to dry before usuing the car

Just had this happen today, they were buffing the deck lid and ripped it off, so they put a new one on, told me to NOT get it wet for 24 hrs to let it dry. But I dont have a garage and its raining right now, so it had about 3 hours or so to settle b4 the rain started. So I hope it stays on there and doesnt leak.

at 47k miles, I noticed this last weekend while washing the car. this will be one of the things that I will ask them to fix it before 50k.
I will also push them to replace the head because of the ticking. Worth a try right? Even they already bleed the system, didn't fix it. maybe this time, will ask them to open a PUMA case. so, anything else should i ask for before 50k? |

yes, only in cold weather or when the engine is cold. are you sure your car doesn't tick? most of them tick, just how bad. mine is new. if it is a CPO, i wouldn't worry at around 50k |
