on/off switch needed for heated rear window on 525i e39.
I have a year 2001 e39 BMW 525i saloon. The on/off 'rocker' switch for the heated rear window has gone missing during a valet. This is switch number 14 on the diagram on page 124 of the Owners Handbook, bottom right as you look at the controls for the heating and air conditioning. Any suggestions please on how to find a replacement. BMW main dealers and scrapyards both seem uninterested in my enquiries. Thank you. -

Park assist not detecting spaces
Morning Nigel Welcome to the Forum A diagnostic scan will confirm the issue so before spending your Hard Earned that would be my course of action. Either find a BMW specialist or a good independent garage that has BMW capable diagnostics (Foxwell, Autologic, iCarsoft) Or if you are a DIY fan then buy your own Google BMW Diagnostic Software for less than the cost of a single visit to a Dealer you could have your own.

Park assist not detecting spaces
Park assist no longer detects parking space. I think I have narrowed it down to Park assist control module. I have a used replacement. Is it plug and play or will it need to be programed. If so how. I hope I don't have to take it in to BMW. thanks. Oh,just remembered is there an easy way to get surround off luggage hook in boot so I can remove panel? -

Water Leaking Into Rear Footwell
Morning Chris Welcome to the Forum That's a lot of water 😢 I fixed a 5 series for a friend of our son his was no where near that bad though. With the 5 series the rear door card had been removed at sometime and the vapour barrier was missing that added to the drains in the bottom of the door being blocked. The bottom of the door was just full of water. When it rained or he went through a car wash it overflowed and filled the footwell. I cleared the door drains a lot of water was held in there I dried it out with a heat gun (checked the roof drains as well they were OK) Fitted a new vapour barrier took out the carpet and sound deadening thick pad which was sopping, gave them a spin in the washing machine then dried in the sun. While they dried I jet washed the car to check for leaks (none found) so I replaced the Door Card sound deadening and carpet he has had no issue over the last 3 years. With luck that will be your problem 😁 If it isn't then you have a serious leak under the car or in a seam Hope this helps not hinders Dave -

Water Leaking Into Rear Footwell
Looking for some advice, every time it rains my rear passenger footwell floods really badly. Took approx 6 litres of water out yesterday. Can’t seem to find the source and wandered if there are any areas that are prone to leaks? The water seems to appear from nowhere, the door seals, window seals, A/B/C pillars, boot, front footwells and roof linings are all bone dry. Even the footwell above the ankle level are dry, indicating water isn’t coming from the door area. The water gets in even with the car being stationary. The only two things I can think of are the sunroof drains (as I believe they expel water in the region of the rear footwells) or the aerial (but would assume both footwells would have some water in, not just the passenger side) any pointers would be much appreciated as it seems to be getting gradually worse. TIA.
