I have a 2005 325i and I just had to have the windshield replaced due
to a crack from a stone. When I drove it away from the glass shop, the
door now locks automatically. It did not do this before, and I prefer
it not to lock. I assume it did this because the wiring in the
windshield for the rain sensor reset the system.

Is this something a dealership can change? How long will it take? What
else can they adjust? Is it possible to do this myself?

You can't DIY. Dealer usually charges, but the glass shop should
re-imburse you IMO.

Thank you for the info, I'll will keep it in mind for the future. The
behavior of the lock went back to normal the next day on its own, so I
did not have to do this now.
