Why do you need to replace this?

The windshield molding on your BMW is designed to keep bugs and other road debris from flying into the car through the front windshield. If it becomes damaged or breaks, it needs to be replaced. You will still have some protection if the molding has pieces missing, but you should replace it as soon as possible to avoid driving with an open window.

When should you replace it?

You should replace the windshield molding as soon as possible if it becomes damaged or breaks. If there are any pieces missing, they will not provide the same level of protection and you should replace them immediately. Driving with an open window is not safe, especially if you are on the highway.

How much does it cost?

The windshield molding on a BMW typically costs around $50 to replace. This may vary depending on the model of the car and the dealership. You can usually find windshield molding for sale at local auto parts stores.
