Late reply I know, but this thing is driving me crazy. Screws are holding in the expansion fasteners, but the fasteners themselves work themselves out of the square holes in the trunk lid that they fit into. A tiny bit every time I close the trunk, but eventually the grip becomes loose enough that the weatherstripping falls out.

I’m going to pull the trunk lid apart from the inside and see if I can use some appropriately sized washers and nuts, or other backing material on the interior side. I suspect the answer is “no” or BMW would have gone this route.

Nice drive to the beach in MS yesterday in the X. She ran great, but popped the Airbag/SRS light on the cluster on the way home just to remind me who is in charge. Haven’t read any codes yet, but I’m hoping it isn’t a door bag as the cards need repair with epoxy every time I pull one.
