Fixed my E61 pano roof noise!

A while back I read about several people frustrated with their roof noise so I thought I'd let you know what I did to mine.
After a new seal and 4 adjustment attemps at 2 dealers, my pano roof wind noise was just as bad. With the roof adjusted according to the factory procedure, I was able to close the roof on a piece of paper (a $1 bill) and was able to pull it out with hardly any resistance at all. The roof just doesn't press against the seal hard enough.
I bought some thin foam weather stripping, less trhan 1/4", and added it to the front of the glass frame. When I tried to close the roof, the system detected the resistance and opened the roof.
The cure, in my case, was to add 3 layers of electrical tape to the front of the glass. The wind noise is gone!
