What issues is he having and it looks like the main one across the front isn't included, not surprised as I think that alone costs close to £200.

I'd be tempted to buy an oem one from a BMW dealer - there's a few complaints about fitting on their Ebay shop.

Item 54318100908 from a German dealer is 261 euro incl. vat and I wonder if Cotswold could do better?

Thanks both.

He has recently put a new roof on it, the structure was good but there are still gaps where the existing rubbers are visibly short. Some water is getting in.

I'll let him know!

In which way are they "short" and did he put a complete new roof on that he bought sordid he have his recovered as the windows may need adjusting.

Get him to join up himself and post some photos up of the issues.
