That E7 underneath the exterior trim piece isn't revers thread, we are just going at it from the back side. But if saying it is reverse helps other understand the process, more power to them.

This is a great video. I keep checking back to see if anyone comments on how to remove the exterior side trim without snapping the little tab. You mentioned you broke 3 like that and I am leary about how to do this without ruining the trim.

@@HelpMeDIY First let me say , I did this yesterday and it worked great! I could not have done it without your video so THANK YOU! One caution...I forgot to line up where the front window and rear window meet so the seal is not good and I have to go adjust it. so anyone reading this DON'T FORGET THAT STEP. So about the side trim...I was able to pop out the first 4 clips as you did in the video, then instead of popping out the problematic clip, I just sort of slid the whole trim down still connected to the car. It exposed the hole and I was in business. ONE MORE BIT OF CAUTION FOR EVERYONE ELSE... My window was stuck in the down position so when I went for the E7 torx the glass was blocking it. No way to get to it. So I went to lowes and bought a serpentine belt tool (Item #1916362) and stuck a 13mm socket on it. I was able to slowly unscrew the bolt from inside the car. Anyway Thank you again!

The rear peg on the side trim needs to pull straight out, with no sidewards twist ... the plastic plug stays in the body...

Nice video and i have just started the process.... Everything is going okay however if you don't mind me asking at the beginning of the video ( 0.31 ) it shows the cover missing on the top trim and i would like to know how you got that off.... as when i lifted the top trim it came up easy but that part appears to have a cable under their stopping me from being able to get that top trim off and away from me working..... any help on the issue would be grateful.....

shame i can't put pics up but for anyone out there with a M3 the rear exterior trim to get to the torx bolt outside of the car is not like the other E46 convert models as the trim has a different clip set and is magic coming off...... Just use a thin plastic removal tool...

Thanks! Replaced my glass cause it got broken and I didn’t align it correctly and it has been bothering me forever! I’m going to finally take it out and fix it today. I just started messing with the bottom inverted torx thread from the outside to try to adjust it before I found out that it’s inside on the end of where the 13mm go. Bottom one popped out unfortunately so I gotta take the whole window out now and do it all over I believe.
