Have you done an M3 windshield? It's bonded in, not at all like a regular e30. It can be a DIY job but I wouldn't even risk it. Since the drains and cowl rust are a big issue with M3's, it's a job best left to the professionals. I don't mean any windshield shop but a shop that has done this before. That's one job you want to be sure is done right.
Not to bad doing an M3. But I've done hundreds of sealed windshields. Depending on what tools your using could be potentially dangerous to your dash or paint.
If u have a pull knife be careful not knick the paint. Could easily slip and have a nice scratch. If your using a cold knife be sure to have firm control of it or you'll slash your dashboard.
Sealing is a whole different issue. Make sure you silicone bead is uniform size all around of you'll have surprise leaks/air noise.

Have you used the Roll Out kit? It is pretty trick.

The question is how often does an experienced professional replace a windshield on an E30 M3?
If he accidentally nicks the paint when scraping off the old glue does he say anything or just slap in the windshield on top of it?
If he does plug the holes with glue how would he know until the windshield is removed?

This has gotten more annoying since I added camber plates. I was told that the strut housing may have been bent on one side so I swapped em out with shortened ones I had laying around along with shorter struts. Added the plates and well the issue just looks worse now.
Driver side, herrafrush
Passenger side, herrasunk
So since its not the housings, maybe control arms should be replaced?
