PANORAMIC DRAINAGE PIPE WAS UNPLUGGED FOR A YEAR

And I have discovered it just recently.

Basically that discovery lead me to the DOMINO effect where the entire lower interior has been STRIPPED / CLEANED / WATER VACUUMED / DRIED / ASSEMBLED BACK (with black interior trim)

Thans to an individual whos hands are growing out of the only circular muscle that a HUMAN KIND HAS!!!! - previous owner installed an aftermarket android, and asked some pothead to run the wire for the reverse camera (and he ran it with his clumsy hands along the passenger pillar where he disconnected the drainage pipe)

Made a short video on what I did meanwhile changing the carpets an properly cleaning the interior also have changed the interior TRIM Pieces including the centre arm rest to BLACK COSMOS

Leather seats looks immaculate! Did you refurbish them?

Can I ask about this?

I assume the old one was broken? What are you replacing it with? A used one? Did you rebuild the used one with the Dealer-supplied repair kit?

I need to replace the seals in my X5's but I try not to use the sunroof..

No. Didnt touch anything, front seat is ripped a little bit but thats about it. Just dont put a seat warmer in the winter as soon as you get in to a cold car and the leather will not crack at all. If you live in a wintery region I would suggest putting up some fur cover on the seats and it will be a pleasant seat to touch in the winter.

Or even better, condition the leather so it doesn't dry out. Run a conditioner on it twice a year and you can have a warm butt to your heart's content. :thumbup:

Nice work on yours. Cosmos is a nice a trim in the E53. Only downside is the possibility of scratches. Not a serious problem if not a family vehicle though.
