Side Finisher Rubber Replacement and Rear Side Window Trim Replacement

[freshprince2421]

No prob. Hope to see you and your m3 around Irvine. It's a sea of Teslas, rare to see another e46.

How times change... Irvine had to have been the E46 M3 capital when they came out!

I somehow got two pairs of these so if anyone wants to buy a set that is already stateside- lmk.

as for installation, that bracket is a real PITA. I had to not only use lube but pry the bracket up a bit to allow the rubber to slide through more easily- but i still had to bring out some plier to pull it through and marred it a bit. still happy with the result though

If you still have the extra pair I'd love to grab them from you. I'm in Austin too.

Is there anything other than the small foam piece (51717037260) under the "finisher" to replace? I have been annoyed by morning dew on the roof dripping down into my open window. I always assumed the finisher should be diverting this water?

Not that I found when I took mine apart. There is, however, a very thin rubber gasket that is part of the aluminum trim that provides a sealing effect to the body; maybe yours is broken, or something in that particular area?

I'm really late to the party here. Is the $130 for one set both sides or just one side?

Both sides.

Only took about two weeks? But got them in. Maybe I missed the description in there, ordered 2 sets. Got two sets of two. Obviously don’t mind now I have a spare set which is great. Now I just need to pick a day to replace them.

Patience, he probably needs a little time to process your order.

I understand this, just wanted to make sure I did the right stuff. Always skeptical sending money online.

So I sent payment to a “mateva” on Tuesday but haven’t gotten any confirmations yet, should I cancel it? Pretty sure I followed the instructions unless the price has gone up.

I don't think I got any confirmations either, just a shipped notice at some point and the item showing up a few days after that.
