I´m from portugal ,and i had this problem in my car too,and videos to explain so simply like this i heaven seen before here in the net,it looks like people that knows this things dont like to share and i ´m glad you do this,It´s poeple like you who make the difrerence in this world,thank you for to spending you time sharing what you know whith us.
This is exactly the video I need.All the other ones showed taking the entire headliner for the car off.I just need to fix this.Thanks a lot man appreciate it
Encouraged by your video, I set off to do the exact same thing. Took out the glass roof - no problem. Took out the front panel that's sagging - no biggie. Peeled the old glue and foam - no worries. Glued it back together - not the perfect job but it's hella nicer than the saggy mess. Put the panel back in the roof - closes no worries. Put the glass roof back - all great And then we bump into the problem. Trying to close the headliner sunshade while the glass roof is in place, it left a ~4cm/ 1.5in gap and would not for the life of it close all the way through. Anyway, two painful hours later, I realised what the problem was. At @0:26 you move the "rubber.. uhh, little wind protector"(TM) by removing it from top-to-bottom. I did it the other way around, and placed the rubber leads onto the wrong rail. Then the sunshade basically ripped those little rubber wind protectors. Took em off, closes no problems. I've noticed many X3 E83's don't even have those on them. If I get lucky enough to find one on a scrapyard that has 'em whole, I'll buy em. But fair warning to everyone trying to replicate this! Learn from my experience as well as John Bull's!
I plan on doing this to my e83 next week but need to do the rear one as well. I'm glad i saw this comment so i need to keep an eye out for that. thanks.
@@omtejano Oh, shoot! Rear panel too? Good luck! Please please please be careful when taking the back glass roof part to access the rear headliner panel. Not only do you have two hard to spot and difficult to reach torx screws (one for each side), there's also a spring-loaded mechanism that you need to carefully disassemble and reassemble. Good luck to you and I'm sure you'll do a 10/10 job!
This is very helpful. There seems to be a lot of misleading information online about how to service the panorama sun shade on a BMW E91, and lots of information I found seems to show a roll-up sunshade that requires the entire sunroof cartridge removal to service. Thankfully I found this video and it is exactly the same as my 2008 BMW 328i wagon (E91). You've saved me a lot of head ache. Cheers!
thanks for this video, worked great for me. as written below, lots of misleading info, some people dismantle the whole thing, crazy.... your video is great. thanks for sharing.
Dude, that was the funniest video. I’ve watched in a long time. That made my morning. I’ve watched a lot of videos that were actually meant to be funny, and I didn’t laugh at all. This was completely classic! I laughed so hard that my face hurts. Thanks for your misery on that project. I’ll make sure I don’t do any of that.
My rear board detached from my motorized front board to cover up the roof. BMW told me it was going to be 4 BANDS TO FIX IT! THIS MAN JUST SHOWED ME HOW TO FIX IT MYSELF AND THAT WASNT EVEN THE PURPOSE OF THE VIDEO. God works in mysterious ways. 😂😂 long story short FUCK MALIIK at bmw💀💀
you need to replace the entire board or get the headliner material . the foam is what failed on the material and caused the seperation. you spray the board only and adhear the new foamed material to the board . bmw sells the board complete for about 280. well worth it and looks original as it should and soft to the touch . thanks for showing how to remove it. i will be looking for the new headliner material but mostlikely be replacing the entire board as im sure the seharah color i have is hard to get
Maybe if i have to ask you to name the tools you're using to remove the window i shouldn't be doing this🤔, but bmw quoted me at over 1200 to do this very job so.... what specific tools do i need to remove the window?
Puuhh! Nice work man! I have a problem with the rear one... it has broken the clips and the rear one is now stuck in the rear of my X5! Do you know, how I can pull the rear one to the front? It seems like it is blocked when i pull it with my hands 🥲 Thanks in advance for your response and a Big TAHNK YOU for this video! 😁
So, I have a 2004 E83 so don’t know if it applies to you and had the same issue where the back panoramic sliding cover got stuck. Had to remove the whole roof lining and figured out I was missing the brace metal piece shown in this video. Made sure none of the plastic latches were missing broken, slide it back into place where it meets the front one and that’s it.
Im very impressed how some people do videos of something they don’t know how to do it RIGHT that glue is temporary as soon it gets hot is coming undone he should buy a piece of material called prismatic head liner material for not even $20 dollarsand use contact glue sorry im just doing that for 30 years
I appreciate your video but unfortunately you needed to buy the headliner. It comes with a foam backing and is much easy and forgiving to work with. Almost impossible to lay it bad or wrong with the foam.
My brother’s gonna be stoked when I fix his after coming back from college. Thanks for making this video my guy, it will go to great things.
What year did you do it on I got an 05 x3 was planning on doing it soon it’s not peeling bad tho still wanna fix it
@@ahmadtims7454 I’m on an 07. The E83 goes up to ‘08 I believe

Appreciate you making and sharing this video as I’ve been contemplating how to get this done on my E53. Now I can do actually do it.

I finally got around to replacing this shade on our E91. It was quite easy with this video as reference. Thank you again!
Thank you for teaching us really I appreciate it nice job
thanks for this video, worked great for me. as written below, lots of misleading info, some people dismantle the whole thing, crazy.... your video is great. thanks for sharing.
The camera 📐’s are perfect!
I have been looking for this video for months. Thanks for sharing !
This looks similar to my 2013 x5. I’m dreading this project, but the headliner is now cutting into my headroom, so it’s time
Grateful for your video. Helped me big time with doing this project. Thank you for taking the time to share!
Thanks for your time making this video.

Right! Not funny in the moment, but looking back at it 😂
Make video how take off rear hedliner!

Wonderful job, super helpful on my e91.
how did you remove the rear side panel? I am stuck there as there are 4 springs to be installed to hold it in position.
you need to replace the entire board or get the headliner material . the foam is what failed on the material and caused the seperation. you spray the board only and adhear the new foamed material to the board . bmw sells the board complete for about 280. well worth it and looks original as it should and soft to the touch .
thanks for showing how to remove it. i will be looking for the new headliner material but mostlikely be replacing the entire board as im sure the seharah color i have is hard to get
This is the BEST video 🙌
Thanks John!
May I ask how many hours of work to disassemble and then reassemble the whole roof ?
Thank you.
Most honest video I've seen 😂, great job men, thank you 👍🏻
Excellent clip bro. Had the same problem with my X5 and sweet result. Ps I'm from kiwiland thus the ancient hahaha
Thank you for sharing. Good man
The key to this is to remove all or most of the original foam backing material. Then be sure to use automotive adhesive.
Hey I saw the back was sagging any clue how to fix that? Mine is atrocious 😅
have a question my sunroof won't reset I can't get the headliner out its stuck can I diy or should I take too shop
Great video! Thanks for posting. Will the steps be similar for an E83? Thanks
I think so
@@JohnBullOutdoors Thanks much!
Thanks, it helped me a lot to repair my car.
Thank you

You don't need many special tools other than screwdrivers, maybe a torx bit set and an allen wrench set.
1:14 there are 2 screws not shown at the video
Great video!!!
Put stars 🌟 in it Apollo making me do his 😂😂🎉❤🎉
Puuhh! Nice work man!
I have a problem with the rear one... it has broken the clips and the rear one is now stuck in the rear of my X5! Do you know, how I can pull the rear one to the front? It seems like it is blocked when i pull it with my hands 🥲

I’m in the same
Boat as you. I think I’m going to just take it to a specialty place to fix it instead of attempting to fix then botch the job
So, I have a 2004 E83 so don’t know if it applies to you and had the same issue where the back panoramic sliding cover got stuck.

Same thing for the X5
Thank you !
Very helpful. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
You didn't buy new headliner material?
No, the headliner itself was in good condition. It's just the glue that came apart.
A lot of effort homie. Good job but it would have took half the time if you started in halves folding the material in half then applying the glue
I have the same problem on my 2015 x1
Im very impressed how some people do videos of something they don’t know how to do it RIGHT that glue is temporary as soon it gets hot is coming undone he should buy a piece of material called prismatic head liner material for not even $20 dollarsand use contact glue sorry im just doing that for 30 years
GOOD JOB MAN, THANK YOU
Thanks for the video
I appreciate your video but unfortunately you needed to buy the headliner. It comes with a foam backing and is much easy and forgiving to work with. Almost impossible to lay it bad or wrong with the foam.
Hello, i have the same problem on my e91, where can i buy new headliner
LOL at the spongebob 2000 years later : )
Very good vidéo thank you men 🦾
