5 Series E39 535i (M62) SAL
Re complaint 2:
a)
No further measures are necessary in the case of vehicles which have already had a
new windscreen frame fitted in connection with complaint 1. There are only 12 slots on
the right-hand A-pillar on the new windscreen frame.
b)
If complaint 1 is not relevant, please adopt the following procedure:
-
Mask the windscreen frame adjacent to the A-pillar (right-hand side only) with
adhesive tape and check for wind noise again.
-
If this measure reduces the level of wind noise, seal off the bars between the
holes with terostat starting at the twelfth slot from the top of the right-hand A-pillar.
This can be done by moulding the terostat into little balls 3 mm in diameter and
then pushing them in between the bars through the slots using a suitable tool,
such as a small screwdriver, for instance (arrowed in figure 2).

Notes:
-
The left-hand side of the vehicle does not require modifying as this increases the
amount of dirt thrown up the door window
-
As from week 05/96 an optimized windscreen frame with only 12 slots in the right-
hand A-pillar has been fitted in series production
