The GB still active?

It's not a group buy. Go through the last few pages of this thread for instructions for buying via PayPal.

I just ordered a second set from him, no problem, maybe took 2 weeks total? A+ seller IMO.

Sent him PayPal on Monday, havent received any communication from him yet. How long does it take to hear back from him after payment sent? Either payment acknowledgment or tracking info? Thanks

Sent payment on Sunday evening (7/30), received shipping information Monday morning. Package arrived at Deutsche Post today (8/3). No updates when it’ll arrive to me yet (NorCal).

For myself it took 7 days from when I sent payment until I received a shipping confirmation with a tracking number.

Got my trim, looks good, the install went pretty well, thanks for the instructions on the last two pages.

I actually bought the generic rubber weather stripping a few years ago and have been putting this off. Glad I held off now and was able to get the proper rubber trim piece. And the installation process wasn't so bad at all.

Where does the rubber o ring go in that assembly, between the glass and the cone piece? Or between the glass and the metal washer? Both of my o rings are missing and the rear windows rattle when opened. I must have lost them when I did my horizontal trim pieces a while back.

Also, I didn't notice any foam attached to the trim piece, it may have disintegrated from old age, now I need to go back in and double check.

The rubber O-ring goes on the inside side of the glass between the glass and washer.

IMO you're LUCKY if you don't break at least one side…

These look good, though the motivation to do this all over again is lacking

Haha, maybe I should have just ordered two. I was too frustrated to start the other side. Hopefully I can avoid breaking that one too.

Well I broke my little plastic piece that attaches to the window so I get to wait a week before I can finish. Meanwhile the car gets to sit in the garage. ugh. what a pain.

Didn't pop out the rivet and reinstall?

I did not touch the rivet.
I used Original Bike Spirits Cleaner and Polish spray to soak the seal and the finisher piece and just fed the seal from the bottom of the trim piece, similar to what Will did.
It takes a bit of effort to push the rubber seal under the riveted bracket but once it is started, it feeds easily. The lubricant is key. The first one took maybe 5-10 min of messing around and the second was less than 2 minutes to install.

I want to thank the forum for finding these side finishers. The ratty original pieces have been bugging me ever since I picked up my car. I was just about to do the 3M/weather strip fix when I saw these come up. Install is fairly easy with some good lubricant.
