Windshield vent

Overall it looks like a minor repair, unfortunate about the window coming out, but that's not a big deal.

Maybe have them through in an extended warranty to comfort your concern? I'd be happy with that.

Picked up the X3 today. Would never have known anything was ever done to it. All is good!

Sorry, but not much to see all together, but here you go. Hard to see through the windshield.

About what? This is what I see from my driving position. I’m not taking it back for something I don’t even see unless I stick my head to the windshield. Even at that, if what your circling on the right is the slight exposure, I suspect that’s where they clamped it and it will likely go back to its manufactured position over time. I’m not sure what you’re circling on the left.

It's nothing...little bit of what looks like white glue on one side and a leveling issue on the other...barely noticeable as you pointed out

My point was there is a gap in the trim where the rest of the trim isn't and the glue residue should have been cleaned off, you have paid a lot of money for the car and then put up with the "repair" so I (IMO) would have wanted it to be tip top prior to getting it back, but if your happy then that is all that matters.
