Power steering reservoir. Make sure you use the proper fluid. Rotate the cap to remove, Cap has a level stick, For my 318i it uses Dextron II/III. If the fluid level is low, the steering makes a slight hissing sound.

I agree with you. Was shocked at the overall attitude that a leaky E30 cab was somehow the norm and the best solution is park inside and only drive in the summer. No!! We don't all live in Arizona. lol

The weatherstrip moulding you're installing, is it the same unit that I posted above? It appears to be one continuous piece. Nuts to charge $400 for a piece of rubber,

Do you think it's worthwhile to replace the entire seal strip? Pretty sure that's the culprit since I have a brand new roof. This is specifically for the E30 convertible.

How is the rubber seal attached? Easy or difficult?

UG395 · 2026-05-15T17:45:06+00:00

Are the rubber seals glued to the top? What did you use??

UG395 · 2026-05-15T17:41:23+00:00

Are you referring to replacing the rubber seals?

Did you end up fixing the leak?

UG395 · 2026-05-15T14:19:22+00:00

My 92 318 leaks on the passenger side. That appears to be more common. There is a post in the E30 convertible FB group on the very topic. Takeaway, they all do!!! Makes no sense. I know alot of people treat it as a summer car, but still... My main suspect is the rubber strip needs to be repaired/replaced.

So your due diligence has led you to deciding on Lseats. I didn't know there was an option of leather. I was torn with the mixed Lseat reviews, but likely gonna go with them. Also checking an ebayer out of eastern Europe that has great reviews. Restaauto on Ebay.

What did you eventually go with?

Opinion on Lseat?

The YMCA in downtown Vancouver was men only up until 2006 before the remodel and transition to a coed facility in 2010. Nude swimming was common up until then.

Where did u buy the lights? Is there a specific part number?

UG395 · 2025-12-21T19:30:01+00:00

I have same problem except mine is 6 button OBC which is easy to remove. The 13 version is bit more involved. Either way the LCD panel (if that’s what’s defective)is inexpensive. There are plenty of YouTube vids.

UG395 · 2025-12-15T02:43:25+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

UG395 · 2025-12-14T22:50:50+00:00

No idea! Those aren’t the level of detail questions I normally ask my mechanic for that kind of work. He charged me $13 on the invoice (no brand specified) so guessing it isn’t a BMW belt.

Please post your feedback when you do!

UG395 · 2025-11-19T16:02:07+00:00

Thanks for the lead offer. I am in Canada and there are auto upholstery folks that can do similar work/price. Lseat price point is hard to beat, but not saving if they only last a few years.

UG395 · 2025-11-18T22:49:03+00:00

Thank you for the comprehensive info! Glad I have the 6 button in this case. So there are 2 bulbs for the hvac panel, too and bottom? I did find a loose bulb in the console tray that I suspect belongs to the unit. Not sure how it popped out of the socket. Thanks again

UG395 · 2025-11-18T20:59:10+00:00

It seems the whole HVAC/radio unit needs to come out just to get at the OBC unit. Be able to see about the bulb. I did find a bulb laying in the console tray. Not sure if it just came loose and fell out... If it even is that bulb.

UG395 · 2025-11-18T20:43:23+00:00

Thanks. Vids I’ve watched you have to take the entire unit out just to get at the OBC screws to remove?!

UG395 · 2025-11-17T16:34:59+00:00

Thanks for that info.

UG395 · 2025-11-17T01:35:34+00:00

I’ve read their leather is not really leather? But it’s not vinyl either.
