After reading a post by Mike98 540 and Jim Cash on this topic, I picked up a sunroof seal (latest generation) at Crevier BMW for $46. This seal is smooth rubber with some very small grooves, not the fuzzy type of seal that came on my 97 540. It was a simple job, although removing all the old adhesive took about 40 minutes with some Goo Gone and my fingernail.

The test drive proved a success. At 85 mph on the freeway, the difference in windnoise between having the sunshade closed and open is almost inaudible. Previously, I had a substantial amount of windnoise with the sunshade open.

Thanks to Jim Cash and Mike for letting me realize that this is a simple and inexpensive task.

or around the the glass panel?.


The seal lines the inside of the body work and seals the glass moonroof. It is on the body of the car. There is no seal on the glass.
