I snugged them up well when re-installing. I had a PDF on hand with all the correct torque specs but getting a torque-wrench down in there was just a step too far... ![]()

Replaced LR door seal that I suspect was the source of water intrusion in the rear footwells when Hurricane Helene blew through while it was parked outdoors at the airport. The prior one had split at the join and had about a 3mm gap at the bottom. That's the only place it could have leaked as the sunroof does not leak at all. Pulled it from that once-gorgeous Estoril 4.8is I posted upstream. I need to go back to that yard and see if the wheels are still there. Vacuumed up the camping season debris after we closed up the camper.
Delivered stored washer and dryer to the in-laws yesterday, a 100+ mile drive towing a box trailer (never towed with this rig before). Frau did fine but the shitty old U-Haul trailer socket was worn and it clanked bad all the way. The turn signals blinked fast like when you have a bad bulb, is that normal? 7B Map Cooling code came back... t-stat time I guess. Frown. edit: added pic, and she's def a 20-footer. Hood is peeling like a bad sunburn. Roof paint is down to primer in spots. Some asshole hit the back bumper last time I parked there and put a nice crack in it, so I hope the hitch ball popped their radiator... I hate that people think "eh it's old, nobody cares" and don't give a shit about others' property.

They were originally for the E90 but came and fit other models. Just surprised it fits the E53.
I put a link up on where I got them. Check it out

How hard is it to remove those bumper covers?

Broken spring end?
Mine has an annoying light knock at slow speeds. I've checked a few parts. I need a lift to check it good. I first suspected the links but they are tight.
