Car Forum / BMW Cars / July 2009Water under the left rear wall
Hi, I have a small problem with my BMW 528i E39 2000 year. After the rain or after the outer wash there is water under the left rear wall. Do you know how can I resolve that ? I can see that the left door rubber is crack. Is is possible that the rubber is cause a water in car ?

Water close to a door is usually caused by the membrane seal failing. That's the waterproof lining between door and inside door trim which is glued in place. Remove the door trim and check. I used a non setting mastic from Scotch designed to seal between a windscreen and rubber surround to sort it.  Signature*If I throw a stick, will you leave?

I see some line and on the line is BMW label. Some tiny rubber is around the line. Is it door trim ?

No - the trim is the entire inner face of the door maybe known as a 'card' too? - usually in the same material as the seats. It's clipped in place but may have a couple of screws holding it on too. A google should find instructions - or buy a copy of the TIS off Ebay. That will give dismantling instructions. I haven't got access to my copy at the moment to look them up.

Could you send me on email if you find you instructions ?
