What it covers
A service bulletin tells BMW technicians how to diagnose or fix a known issue. It is not a recall: a repair under a bulletin is normally paid by the owner unless the car is still under warranty or a warranty extension applies.
REAR GLASS WINDOW DOES NOT FULLY OPEN. When opening the rear glass window to access the luggage compartment the lid will release but will not open high enough to grasp the window completely by hand. The lock pin is contaminated.
