DIY video of a roof rail retrofit.
Excellent video showing you how to deal with all the stuff that the dealer will tell you is nearly impossible. Youtube - BMWRoofRail . Last edited by jacob_dk; 05-10-2016 at 12:34 PM.. |

Thank you for the forum link - I can see that 'dental tool' advice is not to be taken lightly.
I'd appreciate it if you have any additional experience or info to add to the DIY ? Looking at a retrofit this summer. |

i watched the DIY video and really understood what move he did before i attempted anything. one of the more delicate parts i think was the front visor - important to understand what direction you need to pull with the dental pick tool or you could break something. patience was a big factor in this for me bc some of the disassembly steps were a bit of a struggle but just go slow and steady so you dont run into any complications/breakage
