The front and rear windshield is held in place by a rubber gasket. This gasket is locked in place by means of a trim strip that fits under the lips of the rubber windshield gasket. After 27 years this chrome strip had turned a dingy black It is actually hard to distinguish from the gasket itself.
I ordered the front windshield from Bavauto and the rear 2 piece from BMPD.
I also ordered an installation tool from Bavauto.
The installation is fairly straightforward.. First remove the old lockstrip and trim corners. The lockstrip installation tool is a bit cumbersome, but it will save you some time. A small blunt screwdriver is also essential for getting the lips of the gasket to lay over the edge of the lockstrip.
I think the strip adds a nice detail around the window and it frames the class well. Tomorrow I will install the front windscreen lockstrip and also install the new underhood insulation pad.
