I think we are thinking of different things. I was referring to the clear coat that you placed over your headlight lens to protect the surface after refinishing the lens. I looked up E6000 and it comes up as an adhesive.
Ive heard of guys sanding them down with different grades of sand paper and finishing the headlights I think with 1200grit, and then clear coating them after. I have an old set of tiburon headlights and I might practice on those and see what happens, they are in bad shape. they have deep pits in them too. when I do them I`ll take a pic of the before and after shots. if i`m allowed to post pics of tiburon parts here lol. I`m experimenting before doing the BMW headlights ,and hopefully help someone out at the same time.

What yakima adapter works with these? I cannot tell if they are channel based or if you'd need something that wraps around?

Do they make much noise when you have the bike adapters attached? I have the older roundbar style and with my empty ski rack it makes a terrible whistling noise.

I use Yakima Mighty mounts with the Thule and Yakima bike carriers. I need to go back to the garage to get the size, but I believe they were 24H.

They are quiet unless you open the sunroof. I normally don't use the sunroof since we have a working AC.

Make sure you get the cross bars for an E53 and not the E70, since you are posting on the E53 forum I'm assuming you have an E53. The E70 cross bars will not fit an E53. They are both listed as for an X5.

Those look good! Nice find.

Perfect, thank you! I don't normally open mine either as it's usually snowing, raining, or slush is falling off the boards.

I was thinking the same thing. Not like the truck won't start without them.
