I've had a leak in to the well where the jack sits for some time (ages). I finally managed to lock the girlfriend in the boot with a torch today and she discovered the cause.
The second rivet up where the rear window frame attaches to the shell. Does anyone have any idea on how to get to and replace this rivet? Steve Is that knocking I can hear

Not sure where you mean. I think the rear window frame (the M3 special C post bit) is welded to the shell.
The bit that the red line is pointing at is held on with three fasteners. IIRC if you slide off the bit where it joins to the gutter trim the C post trim will pull off (black bit and bodycolour bit) in one piece. ------------- E30 M3 Project - Specification TBC |

That'll be the one then. It appears that the white nylon insert in the body is split and therefor letting water in.
Thanks Steve |
