54 37 ... Gauging coupling fastener (after removing and installing roof module): Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 BMW M3, 2009 BMW M3, and 2008 BMW M3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Special tools required: 

IMPORTANT: To prevent damaging the coupling fastener gauge, set the gauge down only in the transportation crate or on the cross beam.
The coupling fastener gauge is a highly sensitive measuring instrument which reacts even to light impacts with distortion.
The coupling fastener gauge must  be checked for dimensional accuracy on a master gauge after being subjected to impact or dropped.
NOTE: The coupling fastener must be gauged after each removal and installation of the roof module   .

Necessary preliminary tasks: 

IMPORTANT: Tape off corners of roof shell 1 and 3. Risk of damage when positioning gauge for coupling fastener and assembly.
