Part Number Needed

[sbscott]

Does anyone have the part number the rubber gasket that the hood sits on when closed, up by the windshield? I couldn’t find it anywhere on RealOEM.

I have one that is missing about 2 feet on either side. My finger is pointing to seam it should be sitting on. Thanks
Scott

Thanks Don! Appreciate the help with this and the suggestions last weekend in Huntington Beach. Great to meet you in person.

Fwiw
That ecs link shows it as an e30 part.

That might make it easier to find a few feet locally? Millions of e30s everywhere

Cant recommend the W+N quailty though. I got one sometime ago ago and it lasted about a year before it split.

Mine is still okay, but was a total pain to install. Lots of glue needed.

Nor does BMW’s parts catalog ?

Can you show me a link where it is a e30 part?

Hi Don,the ecs link you posted says e30 at the top of page.

Does make me wonder if other seals fit. It is just a seal on a standing seam?

Here is a pic of my e30 hood gasket. Different than ecs pic. Don’t have an original 1970s handy, but there you go...

I’m keeping track of your car collection....

That is not like the oem gasket, the oem fits in the channel, not on the lip.
