Hi lads, I'm new around these parts and don't have much of a clue.
These sill seal thingies have went wonky and I'm looking to replace them.
Spent a half hour trying to Google them and finally come up with a listing for £18 each (and there out of stock) , for what is just a bit of rubber like you'd get along a shower door!
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I'm thinking there must be a bodge for this, some kind of generic rubber strip that will do the exact same job for pennies.

Good find!
That's not 100% correct but it's not far away.
It'll probably do the job fine.
There is absolutely no way I'm paying bmw over £40 for two 700mm long strips of rubber!

Are they damaged?
If not I’d remove the panel and refit.

hi you could try glazing rubber strips at a couple of pounds a mtr there pretty pliable and should provide a good seal comes in various thickness might be worth a shot

Thanks for l the help lads.
Like I said, the strip in question isn't even shaped - you'd think it would be the cheapest thing on the car to replace!
