Which bit

The screen trim that has 3 sides and goes around the glass is £28 from BMW but you need the screen out to fit it

Watched the same you tube video also watched the auto glass man remove and refit my screen with a BMW trim there is a small “V” in the glass and the trim to position it
It does not need to be far out to be wrong
The black sealant glue that is used to glue the screen in can also stick to the trim
Also roadsters tend to get stress cracks in the glass at the edges making removal and re use tricky

Did think about cracking the screen so can get it done by the insurance 😁
