Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've noticed when the temperature drops below 50 degrees, I get a jiggle between the window glass and the rubber seals on my convertible top. If you crack the window it goes away, so its just a rubbing between the glass and the rubber....it's driving my mad. Is there a fix. Thanks for any suggestions.

POST 2Original post

Happens on my coupe as well, but only when the window is activated with the door handle. I've had this problem with a number of German autos, both convertible and coupes, though always worse on convertibles. I'm told there is a lubricant that can be applied that keeps the seals soft and slows down the drying process. Griots sells a dressing that might work, though I've never tried it. http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?&SKU=11169 .

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I put vaseline on the seal to try to break the friction, but this doesn't seem to last...any other products or solutions out there. It's obviously the contraction that goes on when it gets cold. Can the window be adjusted to be a tighter fit?

POST 4Original post

There's a BMW lubricant called "Gumi" or "Gumiphledge" that is really good. I'm waiting on the local dealer to get a new shipment in to pick some up for just this reason. Put the hardtop on a week ago after storing it indoors- dried seals=squeeks!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've used t hat with my old BMW...I thought they had quit making the product....I've been using vasoline instead. Do you know if it's any different than expensive vasoline?

POST 6Original post

Would a spray or plumber's grease not do the job?

POST 7Original post

I have used with success dielectric grease. You can puchase it at most auto parts stores. I have used this on many of my Corvettes and BMW's with no problem. Stops squeeks and lubricates the rubber. Pretty cheap stuff too. The only downside to using any grease or lubricant is it attracts dirt and dust. Adam
