Hi All..just joined.... I am searching for the lower window trim / seal for the boot window on a touring. Mine does not go to each end...falls about 30mm short both sides.... Or in fact is that correct and there are 90 degree filler seals that cover the gap ? Anyone ?
Cheers

Mines like this too, apparently they shrink over time. Bmw might still do them to be honest

Thanks guys for comments...I thought it would be weird to have extra 90's to fill gap...I'll get a new one and "age" accordingly

I took one trim from a scrap tailgate, which I have used to cut short bits off and fill the gaps on multiple tourings over the years.

I know at least one zoner who did away with the strip and filled the channel with bitumen. It probably provides a better seal than the strip (which is fairly useless) but I can't imagine it looked good. I bought 2, they're not expensive, fitted one and left the other on the balcony for about a year. By time the first had shrunk the second was nicely cured

Have you tired Pelican Parts? They have all kinds of trim / boots etc.
