Rather than letting water out, try finding where it is coming in!
Favourite is the door membrane. Run a hose along the base of the window with the door open and see if water comes out at the bottom of the door card. Usually about six inches back from the front corner.
Seal the yaw sensor in a poly bag with a silica gel sachet for company. Then consider doing the same for the airbag modules, but make sure they still have metal to metal contact to the mounting studs.

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:
