Had a bit of an issue with the centre of the lower screen panel warping. Another Z3 'norm'.
Popped it of which was surprisingly easy to do. I used a 1 inch chisel as a sharp flat long tools needed to prize off the push pins then the retainers which the pins sit inside. Perfect for the job.
Pretty dirty inside, sealant looks like its had its life so that was replaced after cleaning.

Inside the lower drain was absolutely well a d truely bunged up with debris, a couple of hand fulls and a fair amount removed, rinsed through and waters going out the car in the right places.

All in all only took 3hrs.

If the Butyl sealer is hard or not in good condition change it as otherwise
The water from the windscreen gets underneath the top ( where the sealer is ) then drips into the open heater motor runs through the heater box seeping out the bottom into the carpets below it

Yep, I reckon that was incoming. Interesting seeing whats behind these panels, quite basic stuff really.
