BMW Z4 Windshield Replacement

The BMW Z4 is a two door convertible. An adhesive pad holds the condensation sensor in place. If you remove the condensation sensor, you cannot reuse it. So have a replacement condensation sensor ready when you decide to get the windshield on your BMW Z4 replaced. Not every auto glass technician will know this and some can and will come without so be prepared and let them know in advance and save yourself some time. Not every shop knows every vehicle and every vehicle owner understands every feature their vehicle has so it makes it very difficult for the technicians to know which windshield or glass part to bring unless you tell them specifically what you have. Sometimes the best bet is to do the research yourself and make sure your relay the right information over the phone to the auto glass shop. We have taken the time to do the research to find out what features each vehicle has to help make this entire process easier for both you the consumer and also our auto glass technicians.

When you approach an auto glass technician for a windshield replacement quote, he will usually give you the price for an aftermarket glass. Aftermarket glass is cheaper than OEM glass and in most cases there is a some difference in their quality. Ask for a OEM quote specifically and compare the prices for yourself then you can make the decision. Some Aftermarket Replacement Glass is actually very good. It really depends on which type of Aftermarket Replacement Glass is being used. There are many different types of Aftermarket Replacement Glass available.

Installation of a New Windshield

To remove the windshield, the technician may have to open the cowl panel too. He should take care here because the cowl panel retainers are brittle and may break when he attempts to remove them. Sometimes using the shop with less experience that is cheaper is not the best option because he may break parts on your car and not tell you. Then put the car back together with broken parts and you might not know until a few months later when your car’s cowl panel starts to come off. After he has finished installing the windshield, he should check for leaks around the perimeter of the windshield with a leak detector

The National Auto Glass Specifications says when you replace the windshield, you should always install new moldings, but in some cases that is not necessary but not in all. Ask the auto glass technician if you can check the date on the primers and urethane because outdated products can compromise the car’s structural integrity. Some shops will cut corners and use outdated or expired primers and urethane and without asking you would never know.

Cost of Replacing the Windshield on Your BMW Z4

The average cost of repairing the windshield on your BMW Z4 is $129.95. But you can only repair the windshield in case of minor cracks and chips. If the damage is too extensive, you may have to get the windshield replaced.

If you have bought auto glass insurance, please inform our technician about it when he contacts you.

Problems with the Window Regulator

The BMW Z4 has power windows. This means there is a possibility that the window regulators will give you problems. If the window makes crackling noises when you move it, if it fails to respond to the button or if it does not move as it should, it is a sign that the window regulator is not working properly. Our technicians can also replace faulty window regulators on the BMW Z4.
