BMW F30 Windshield Cowl Replacement DIY

BMW F30 Windshield Cowl Replacement DIY

Before you call me on it…. Yes, I know the difference between a nut and a bolt and misspoke like 4 times and was out of frame several times as well. Cut me some slack! šŸ™‚ It’s my first DIY video.

Couldn’t find any help on replacing the Windshield Cowl on my 2012 BMW 328i (F30), so I decided to make a video while figuring it out. Hope it comes in useful to someone in the future!

Is this piece just for esthetics or does it suit a purpose?

Wang Xin says:

Very nice video! This would help a lot of people. My F30 had this cracked when the was just 2 maybe 3 years old. I will find the part and replace it myself!

Hi does the rubber seal round the engine bay go on top of the plastics or tuck down thanks.

LALOMAN says:

want to save money? just cut off that old broken rubber trim across the cowl. Then measure the length of cowl and go to ur local auto parts or ebay and buy the right size windshield trim for it. Come with 3M sticky glue and just stick it in where the old trim was on the cowl and job done. You saved $100 and only paid $10 to $20 for just the whether trim!

I just got my windshield replaced and the passenger side isnt perfectly adhered. They reused the old one obviously cuz its full of salt. Should I get it replaced?

Just ordered one, this is gonna be the second one for me to change, the one on the E46 was very easy, my F31 seems a little more tricky, but this video certainly does the trick. Thanks for posting.
