the trim between the top and trunk and rear quarters and top are cracked badly

can anyone help me find a replacement part number or a replacement. the top itself is like new

 

its the part that is on both sides of the 3rd brake light

 

This is a pretty common item on the convertibles. Part numbers are 51-13-7-123-437 for the left and 51-13-7-123-438 for the right.

We stock these trim pieces and can ship them tomorrow. Please feel free to order from us directly at http://mini.sewellparts.com/parts_inquiry/index.html. Make sure to register to receive your discount and input the two part numbers into the form by following the link provided.

 

do you stock the outsides quarter molding also? its also cracked basicly from the back of the door all the way around to the other side

 

We currently do not have the two quarter moldings in stock but can have them here Friday to ship out. Part numbers are 51-36-7-072-931 for the left and 51-36-7-072-932 for the right.

 

The rubber on these moldings/trims is junk, designed to deteriorate every 3-4 yrs even if you clean them with a cotton swab and park your Mini in a garage. Eachs cost $150-$165. When I'm done with this car, I'll have spent $1200-$1600 on these trims.

Awesome engineering aus Deutschland!!!

 

Yeah I would like to replace these trim pieces also if anyone knows where to purchase these I could not see with link provided in previous post?

 

I did a quick fix and it works rather nicely with 1 inch wide electrical tape and fold it you cannot even tell the difference...everyone asked if I bought new pieces....shhhh!!!! My secret.

 

We stock them:

@Homazur

Could you give us a little more information on your fix, with a picture or two? The thought of buying these trim pieces for nearly 300 bucks is just too much for me.

 

They install into the back with screws. Here is a picture of the parts to help you.
They are orientated like they would be installed on the primary picture. Make sure to check that the rubber not worn all the way through and rubbing the paint.
