I must not quite be following. If you add washers/spacing won't that cause the roof to actually not fit as tightly? You seem to indicate that because you mentioned watching for leaks around the a-pillar. What am I missing and TIA!! Really appreciate the video and the help.
@@ericsolari3876 without the ideal spacing from the washers the cone can’t fit all the way in the hole which causes rattle. If you add too many washers it can cause a leak but too little and the cone is not able to settle in the hole. Try it out and see what works for you. Good luck 👍
Hi Sal. I’m writing from Spain. I have seen a lot of your videos. I have a M3 e93 like yours. I have modified the stock exhaust and it sounds really good. I own that car for five years and I’m thinking about changing for a F-Type ( specially V8 version ) Do you recommend me that ?? In Spain is very difficult to see a F-type on the street. I think is beautiful but very smaller than the M… Your DIY videos has helped me a lot many times. Sorry with my english. When I see your videos I always think that you are brave doing that jobs on the street. Thanks !!!
you never showed this but does this rattle cause the hook latch to not lock in all the way? if so, that’s what’s causing my problem. the hook latch isn’t going all the way, only locks halfway through. can you confirm this for me ? i ordered the new plate that brings both latches
Worked for me on my 320d Msport!
@@davidcrawford8583 glad to hear!

Hi! I really like the F-Type more than the M3 because it is rare and beautiful. Also very fast and sounds good 👌 I recommend it, good luck 👍

also should i put the washer on the driver side if that’s where it’s lifting/leaking ?
Sounds like you may need to remove washers to get it to close since maybe the conical pin may be too long.
