As a matter of fact there is. I think someone in this very thread talked about it.

The inner gasket isnt hard to replace. None of it is once you have the window out. I think the inner gasket just keeps the sliding glass in place, it doesnt really waterproof anything. Your problem sounds like the flap has fallen off because of corroded aluminum or the adhesive wore off. You...

I suppose that means mine was not original.

The rear window can be removed and put back in similar to the rear cargo windows. You can fully sand and repair the rust and hopefully you wont require any welding. This video shows how to pop them out with plastic scrapers: The front headlights can be popped out pretty easily to get...

Am I spraying clearcoat on top of the platinum? Also does anyone know if I'll melt the cladding by sanding it with a random orbital sander?

I think theres a button on near the gear selector that lets you change gears while the battery is disconnected. Key in the ignition for that I think. I'm trying to imagine what else could be the issue.

Chock the wheels and put the transfer case in nuetral. Belt off the drive line and ac compressor.

Looking to pick it up in about two weeks. I guess I should have specified front range are of Colorado. I'll be travelling to co springs from houston to paint the truck in about two weeks and Durango is a little out of the way.

Mine has rust under the weather strip quite severely and I'm looking for a replacement. I'd like to pick it up locally to avoid the shipping cost.

Run a die over the bolt or chase the threads on the nut with a tap

Go to the BMW store and say "one please"

I initially thought the flaps also served little purpose. However if too much water travels through the holes on the bottom of the frame it was filling up the channel between the window and the body and overflowing into the cargo area and rusting my jack and soaking the carpet. Those little...

That's oxidized aluminum. If the water cant drain out through those plastic flaps on the bottom then water sits in the frame and dissolves it away slowly. You'll need to pull it to check the condition, clean and probably repair the flaps.

Rust on the body or the aluminum frame that the window sits in? On the body: uninstall window sand down and repaint. On aluminum frame: uninstall window. Remove outer rubber seal that houses the aluminum frame. Remove screws on top and bottom. Remove windows, beam that separates windows...

My spill free funnel overflowed on my Corvette after getting the coolant too hot while filling it up the other day. It doesnt take long to fill the system and rid it of air bubbles. Put the car on ramps, turn on heat, squeeze the upper radiator hose with your hand until the engine gets warm...
