    silly little issues-any advice appreciated

    Hi Folks,
    I have a 2007 550i and it's an awesome car with some minor issues (I hope);
    In the 2 pictures (front and rear) the sealing material is wasting away- are there replacement pieces?, is it part of a new windscreen installation? or is there a hack-mechanic fix?

    The other less easy to photograph issue seems to be coming from a possessed gremlin behind the dashboard somewhere making a horrible noise like a screeching/rattling fan. I tried to photograph the gremlin but they're very fast and difficult to capture.

    Thanks,

    Peter

    Common issue. The seals are available for sale, and are easy to install. For example,

    There are installation videos available on youtube

    There's a good video guide on YouTube for it
