Replaced window because of trim?

shawshank772 · 12-23-2009, 08:22 AM

My car is in the shop....again!! I am having them replace another part of the shadow line trim. I know there is a TSB on it but they still cannot buff it out and it looks like shit..Well get a load of this. Apprently to replace the bottom rear portion of the shadow line trim they have to replace the ENTIRE WINDOW!!! I mean really...are they fing serious. Has anyone else had this happen? BMW says its a one time good will fix. They can kiss my ass though, its not my fault the trim goes bad and they cant buff it out. Utterly crap tastic this car has been for me. P.S. I still love my car but wont keep it much longer.

yea the bottom rear piece is attached to the window- I know so stupid. I only know because I wanted to switch out my chromeline for shadowline and found out it wasn't as easy as it is on the 3s
