When installing a new rubber impact (rub) strip on the chrome bumper, straighten out the strip (from shipping) then spray a little WD-40 in the (2) grooves to help the clips slide down the grooves. My 73 tii has a total of (17) threaded clips for the rear bumper. Coat the threads of the clip studs with anti-seize paste before installing the strip on the bumper. Align the (2) pre-cut holes for the over-riders (if equipped) with the bumper, then align all the threaded clips. Mount the strip to the bumper starting at the middle, then bend the ends around the curves, using a rubber mallet to help push the strip close to the bumper.
Use only new BMW hardware to ensure a good, long lasting fit. All of my old bolts broke when disassembling the bumper – so be prepared with new hardware.

The sunroof or “sliding roof” as it was referenced in the BMW literature is some what of a black hole when it comes to maintenance documentation.
Review the detailed notes with pictures on this procedure from Keith’s website my2002tii.com. There are several entries regarding the sunroof.
When the 2002 Turbo came out it had some very “boy racer” parts that were quite a statement for BMW in 1974.
Attached is the long lost parts fiche page from Mobile Tradition which gives the part numbers for each item. Showing them is one thing, finding them is well… your own scavenger hunt
