Two front ones on my zt need doing

Thanks Steve! Very useful - I'll be tackling mine soon.

Just a thought - it may seem obvious but windows need to be down before starting!

Did the swap today on my ZT this afternoon. Piece of cake

One tip I would like to add to the splendid how-to: when re-assembling first fit the screws and then press the rubber back in to place. It is so much easier that way.

Thanks a million for this splendid how-to!

No need to us t cut, use Autoglym Bumper care. Mine looks like the new one you have just fitted.

Sorry Ron. Never gave it a thought. Won't happen again. Promise.

Guys, is there an "official" RAVE procedure for these?

Im just curious, as my senses suggest that the pulling and pushing vertically will scratch the paint on the door frame....

Can the people who have done this job confirm whether the NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-
can be pulled out sideways without door frame damage, or does it have to be slid vertically each time?

Im furious, I thought mine were in GREAT condition, but I saw under torchlight tonight, that Ive got marks, and missing paint down the outer corner of one that's starting to rust....Yet another job on the list.

As soon as you have done one, 3 more come round.....

Did you not get my P/M reference instructions for programming a BMW Broad Screen Monitor.

Many Thanks.
