Will be doing this tomorrow hopefully if the weather holds out. Question though once the door card is removed. How easy is it to remove the existing membrane and will i have to disconnect the airbag to remove it?

Thanks in advance

I think the airbag has to come out. There are instructions in the guide for adding front door speakers.

if youve bought a new membrane then yes airbag would need disconnecting,

if your simply resealing you can do it without

Hmmmm. Ill check tomorrow to see what condition the original membrane is in. If it is knackered am i correct in thinking disconnect the battery and leave for 20minutes before disconnecting the airbag to prevent the airbag light coming on?

Yes you are correct.

Airbag has to be removed if replacing the membrane. It isn't an issue, just make sure the battery is properly disconnected before doing it.

Hi guys,
I have found that I have the exact same issue... But my membrane isn't really there anymore
Looks like the previous owner ripped it to pieces.
Does anyone have the part number?
Thanks

I did but i have thrown it away, sorry. If you just phone the parts department at you local bmw and ask for which ever door is leaking membrane they will know which part it is. Should be no more than £25 plus the butl tape

What side do you need? I have the drivers side membrane in my garage so can have a look at the part number for you, if that's the side you need.

All done

took about an hour in total taking my time. Disconnecting my battery has lost my one touch close windows but retained my phone connection and radio channels!!!!

The original membrane was in bad condition at the bottom for some reason it wasnt stuck down by anything

no wonder it was leaking.

Before

After with new membrane

Thanks for the help and advise

Old one looked reusable. Just needed some butyl Tape at the bottom.

Sorry they were the same picture for some reason

Old one was torn etc no good for man nor beast

Oh ok

yeah the picture shows the torn one now! Hope it solves your problem.

I had to take my passenger seat out and lift the carpet up as the water had soaked in to the foam underlay stuff. Took hours and hours of using my missus' hairdryer for it to dry out.
