Front window rubber molding

Googie · 07-25-2012, 04:12 PM

Hey guys, I need to replace the rubber molding on the top/sides of the front window. My car is an 07 335i coupe. The dealership wants $48 for it. Where can I get it cheaper and whats the part number. I did some looking on here and was not totally sure of what part number to use when ordering. It looks like an easy DIY. Thanks

Are you talking about the windshield molding? Or a front window molding? I know you side "front window", but usually that part stays fine. However the windshield molding "reveal molding" is crap and will start cracking and crumbeling to peices.

If it's the reveal molding, check out item #2. Cost like $17 before shipping.

If it is the front door window, than one of these I guess

and they all seem to exceed the cost your dealership quoted, so have them do it.

I thinking $48 is actually a decent price for it. Easy DIY too.

My reveal molding was $26 with shipping from Tischer. I put it on myself in ten minutes.

How hard is it to change them out? Is there a DIY around?

Edit: Nevermind, found it. Seems easy enough.

What about the molding around the rear window? Can it be changed out as well?

Diode · 08-05-2012, 09:54 PM

Which dealer quoted $48?
