Title: Boot lid surround
Post by: BimmerDub on 18 February 2013, 10:52

Hi all,

Sorry if this is elsewhere on the site, but does anyone know how I can replace (or get a replacment) the matt black surround that fits around the rear windows (boot lid) ? Mine has just start to corrode and I dont know if its easy to remove and replace or better to overlay ?

thanks in advance  :smiley:

It's best to try and find one without the washer and wiper holes in them. That way you do have a little bit of adjustment when fitting them in case they don't quite line up. You can make your own holes once you are happy with the fit.

Spensive for a bit of vinyl. Guess they throw away a lot due to the odd shape.
