    Hi Folks, does anyone have a knowledge of the various seals on the Convertible.
    The two on the back where the roof meets the body are perished on our 2005 Convertible.
    They are not leaking (yet) but look rather unsightly so if there are seals available I'll replace them.
    The only threads I've found so far are for American supply
    I've got a new supply of Gummi pflege so I'll be giving the seals a good clean and replenish this weekend.
    Thanks in advance
    Gordon

    Luckily in my 3 and half years of ownership my seals didn’t fail... mine was in the seams on the rear of the hood at either side of the window. They leaked a little from time to time. Have you spoken to the dealer?

    No dealer conversation yet. I was hoping there were pattern seals available.
    As I said they aren't leaking but they look pretty bad.
    If I find anything I'll post here.

    I could't find a pattern set anywhere so I've ordered original fitment from ebay - since been told that I could have saved a couple of £'s by buying direct from BMW - although I haven't verified this.
    They look pretty straight forward to fit - if there are any issues I'll update here.
    Thanks,
    Gordon
