How to: BMW E39 Rear Window Shelf Removal

How to remove the rear window shelf on a BMW E39. A similar procedure may apply to other BMW models as well. For this I am using a 1997 BMW 540i which doesn’t have fold down rear seats so there is slightly more work involved. Be sure to stay tuned for the restoration process of this panel. I will be repairing the faded fabric but to it’s original black color. #BMW #BMWe39 #OEMTOOLS Impact wrench: https://mobiledistributorsupply.com/2...
