Finishing Rods Question.

Indenial · 01-28-2009, 02:08 PM

I just ordered black finishing rods for my e90 from tischer. How do I install these on the car. Is it a pain in the ass? Do I have to remove the front bumper?? Let me know.

Thanks

Once you get the new ones you'll see where the tabs are and just using an angled tools like in the DYI push down or up on the tab and then pull the other side out(top or bottom whichever you prefer). It literally took me 10 minutes to remove and install the 325/328 black ones.

I just switched my silver ones for the black ones last night. took about 30 seconds. lift up, and pull out. the center one came off without the tabs breaking. the 2 ends had broken tabs, but that didnt matter since i was planning on throwing them away anyway.
