Weather Stripping replacement??

Well, pretty self explanatory, Im going to attempt to replace the weather stripping around the entire bonnet. Right now with my handy dandy jack of all trade master of none and my "make it work" capabilities Ive used Gorilla glue to hold...for now. Ive looked for the parts from miniMania and some others I don't remember but pretty much need to know where I can get the parts aaand of course how to do myself. Ive searched for other threads and haven't found any. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!!!!!

Be sure and post your year model and mileage depending on your question. I used www.realoem.com and looked up the part number for a 2008 S - 51717132471.

You can then use the part number for your search. I found the seal HERE

You can also check your dealer. I replaced the panoramic roof seal and the dealer had it in stock for $22. I was surprised on the price.

Hello Andrew! Welcome to NAM. Are you referring to the stripping around the engine bay? We have a bunch of seals that can be found here. Particularly #7 in the diagram below? If so part number is 51-71-2-751-261 and you can purchase it here.

Thats the rear " boot " gasket above

So you need the gasket near the cowl and the gasket that on the top of the U brace ?

Those are the two main ones that touch the hood.
