Rubber door & window seals

[Paul H Johnson]

Hi all, just a quick question for you all. Does anyone know if its possible to get new rubber door & window seals for 1997 Z roadster from anywhere in the UK? I'm sure BMW will sell them, but we all know how much BMW will charge ! !
I'd expect they might be readily available in the USA, but the US Postal Service are a modern day version Dick Turpin !! It would be cheaper to get a flight & buy them over the counter !!
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I think you will need to search into it a bit more. After a very quick google https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-21055-51218397635-genuine-bmw-part/ you get free shipping in the US over $50 or FPCEuro https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-outer-weatherstrip-left-51218397635 You will find the parts more expensive over here with the exchange rate plus you might have to add import duties on top.

The price of all those rubbers new is going to add upto a fair bit. Have you tried eBay, pick your own parts breakers, BMW recycler or the Facebook market pages? Might be worth considering to pick up some decent seconds and treat with gummifledge.

I got some from BMW in Derby a few years ago and they weren't too expensive.

Question: can the seals be repositioned? Rather than buy new which are very expensive even with forum discount from Sopers.
