54 13 095 Replacing/cleaning net for wind deflector
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2010 BMW X3, 2009 BMW X3, 2008 BMW X3, 2007 BMW X3, and 2006 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Necessary preliminary tasks:
- Open slide/tilt sunroof
Cleaning:
The wind deflector net can be cleaned while installed as follows:
- Accelerate vehicle with glass slide/tilt sunroof open to over 5 km/h
- Stop vehicle and turn ignition key to position 2.
NOTE:
This prevents the wind deflector from retracting, and thereby leaving it fully open.
Net is now accessible and easy to clean.
Replacement:
Pull plastic strip (1) out of retainers (2) on panorama glass sunroof and wind deflector.
Installation:
If necessary, reinstall retainers.
Clip new net into place.
