That's got me thinking.

Do most of the members on here have tinted windows on their X5's? Does it enhance the look of the car?

Cheers. :thumbup:

I am guessing here but would an auto window installer be able to remove the windshield and re-attach fresh rubber?

Or ... remove the perished rubber and replace with some dark grey/black silicon?

That's my concern. What if they say I need a new alternator belt and A/C re-charge too? Even if I don't. The dealer can say I need whatever they want. How would I know? :confused:
