Window trim fell off

[Nomana]

Hi
My friend has the issue about plastic trim under the side rear window.

It fell off completely. Originally this was glued by design which has to replace whole window assembly but we dont want to.

So what kind of glue or fix? Bmw dealer really have no idea and want us to replace the whole thing.

The funny thing is that, I just noticed my trim started to loose as well. The end trim where attach to the curved upper trim popped up!

When i was taking the wrap off my F32 435i i took mine off and then i couldn't get it to sit perfect so i had to take mine to the dealer to get it fixed.
Warranty covered it

Great!
Did dealer glue it back or replace whole window?

Im sure they didn't replace the window because i had a sticker on it so i will say it was glued back.

Probably a good 3M two part epoxy will work

Will this work?
Seem like the trim(plastic) has to stick on weatherstrip(rubber)

[BzsBimmer]

No. That appears to be for rubber weatherstripping. You need a plastic all weather bonding agent

Ah i see. But dont you think the trim is on rubber? Which adhesive you recommend?

[BzsBimmer]

If I understand the joint design, the metal tang connects the two pieces and slips on with epoxy/glue.

I don’t think the trim is adhered to the rubber weatherstripping but I could be wrong.

I’m on mobile but if you google 3M Products 03601
Part Number: 133-03601

There should be a retaining piece by the rear window frame/trim/Hofmeister Kink

I tried looking up the image with realoem and can’t find the trim piece. Not sure if it’s glued onto the window seal or not

It comes with window
I emailed the guy who has same issue, he said dealer glued it back with some kind of adhesive but had to do it twice since the first time it fell off again.

If this is the case, the glue you posted should work since it’s formulated for rubber. Be sure to prep the surfaces extremely well before application.
Consider how you’re going to keep the pieces attached during the cure time.
