    I am not talking about the clearancing that was done. It's hard to from the picture but it looked damaged. Like they got sloppy with the clearancing or something else happened at some point.

    Almost got it out the other day with the crazy warm weather we'd been having up here in WI.

    But then we got 10" of snow, so it's still in sleep mode along with the E46 wagon.

    I replaced the door roof seals with the kit from DMCH that includes the correct sized pop rivets. It was a bit of a slow process with slowly drilling out the old pop rivets, cleaning up the brackets, and getting everything lined back up again, all while taking care of the torsion bar. I did this as a "while I'm in there" while I had the t-panel off to bolt down the roof box.

    I opted to use original-sized pop rivets instead of going with screws. I'm happy to report that I avoided any damage to the stainless skin of the door, which was my main area of concern.
