Cleaning BMW E90 335i 2007 Headliner (AKA Roofliner)

You have to be very careful when cleaning the Headliner especially in BMW, I’ve used this product:
83122298211

83122298211 Alcantara and upholstery cleaner.
Suitable for cleaning both Alcantara and upholstery as well as carpet and roofliner (headliner).

Spray on the Headliner wait for 20 seconds then wipe it with a microfiber cloth.
I’ve used this one:

BMW 335i E90 2007 water leak in passenger side after windshield replacment

I have replaced the front oem windshield in the local authorized BMW dealer they have replaced the following parts:

1- 51317203857 Windshield for vehicles with climate comfort windscreen and rain & light sensor.
2- 51317061967 Windshield Moulding – Upper.
3- 51137133292 Windshield Moulding – Lower.
4- 51717180743 Rain Tray / Water Deflector.
5- 64116928326 Condensation Sensor ( it is behined the rear view mirror cover you cant use the old one, it will break if you take it out)

64116928326 Set, condensation sensors, bonded.

and they used OEM polyurethane BMW / MINI adhesive:
83190444144

83190444144 WINDOW ADHESIVE, COLD, 1 HR.

The “V” bead (triangle shape) is almost a fail-safe way of applying adhesive.

I’m not sure if they used the triangl shape method to apply the adhesive but it seems a fail-safe way to prevent leaks.

2- 51317061967 Windshield Moulding – Upper.
3- 51137133292 Windshield Moulding – Lower.
4- 51717180743 Rain Tray / Water Deflector.

water leak passenger side

The fix !:
it appears that leak is not from the windshield it is from the seal of the door vapor barrier AKA Sound Insulating foam.

door vapor barrier AKA Sound Insulating

this barrier is sticked to the door using Butylband tape (Butylene tape) from BMW:
Part Number 83190153321

BMW Butylband tape 83190153321 15 X 1.5mm X 10 M

I went to one of BMW garages to do the job, they removed the door panel and removed the old seal.

Then they applied the new seal.

And using Seam Roller tool to seal the edges.

No more water leaks during rain of car wash and nothing was wrong in the sealing of the windshield.
