Side Finisher Rubber Replacement and Rear Side Window Trim Replacement

[heinzboehmer]

Juat received mine and they look pretty great.

Interestingly, even though the eBay listing says they're in Lithuania, the package was shipped from a place not too far from Frankfurt. Gives even more credibility to the claim that they're the actual seals that BMW uses in their parts.

Mine also shipped quickly, have received a tracking number but don't know what company to track with?

I just placed an order over the weekend and emailed to ask for part availability. Got a response from Matt in less than 24 hours, order got shipped today.

How much was the total delivered to Australia? I’m thinking of getting a set too

$260 AUD, about $100 less then via his ebay store. and BMW want $2948.5 locally lmao.

Win of the year.

[Maxima SE]

Yeah. I'm out of the window now...

You can still order. The GB is not time sensitive or limited to a particular number of orders. anyone can order as many as they want.... untill matt tells us otherwise

Shipping was little extra but still cheaper than ebay, placing order now thanks!

You should ask the seller. The quote was for shipping to USA. Should be about the same

This year is just full of surprises, this was the last part I expected to ever exist.

Is the cheaper price via email USA only? I'm in Australia, happy to buy through ebay at the higher price as it's still thousands less but worth asking first.

Seller is in Lithuania. Pretty sure he will ship to you at the GB price.

The install isn't horrible. The worst part is probably the small bracket that retains the seal at the rear of the trim piece. You need to remove a rivet that holds the bracket in place. I tried silicone lube and sliding the seal in without removing the bracket but after 15 minutes of fiddling with it I decided to just remove the rivet, install the seal and then rivet the bracket back into place.
Overall the seals feel like OEM quality and the wavy rubber does not show once reinstalled. I do have a bit of gap between the seal and trim but that could be due to my lack of skill or the fact my trim pieces are 20 years old and slightly warped.

Okay good.

couldn't contain the excitement when I opened the package lol. So good to have an OEM replacement after all these years.

Same . Mine don't even look that "bacon'd"

I took a quick look at the top of the seal where the rear vent window meets the front door. The internal shape of the molding looks identical.
