I saw this on a car for sale about a year ago? have you ever had a crash in your car or have the airbags ever gone off? because this car that i looked at had had a crash and the car was fixed at some crappy dealer and the airbag covers wernt put back on properly so they looked like that but much worse. Other than that cant help you

I've just noticed this happening as well. I bought my 01 X5 used, but the carfax history reported no accidents. Any thoughts on fixing this?

Its not because of any accident. It a recall on some X5's. Its very common. Something about water leaking around the A-Column.... I might be wrong with the wording, but its very common. Not to worry.

This was a recall on some X5's? Do you know any more about that BimmerDude? I'm not really worried. It just looks crappy!

Water leaking around the A column is definately something to worry about. I've got the same issue. I've got a can of spray adhesive, I'll have to pry them off and see if I can fix them. I wonder if steaming them will make the glue re-adhere and fix them instead of removing them and possibly screwing them up more.

they can also be caused by those steam cleaners, the steam screws up the existing glue and they go floppy
