Is there a source or substitute for the small C channel that goes around the sunroof opening, under the headliner?
(it softens the sharp sheet metal edge)

If we are talking about The same part
Maybe not talking about the same part, this is a small plastic channel, maybe 3/16
it goes around the sunroof opening, under the headliner
You put it on the sheet metal edge before you put the headliner on
it is one length all the way around

It's the same synthetic strip that is used on the chrome mouldings/ trim etc. Readily available from Walloths et al.
Thanks, do you have a link?
I have ordered a ton of stuff from WN, but hate to spend shipping on one little part, and can't really wait either

Part 54129734126. It's common to a lot of BMW's so local dealer may have it ?...sold by the metre.
Thanks, I feel a little foolish, I had in mind that it was NLA
The one out of my car doesn't really look like that, the 'legs' are very short, maybe it was changed at some point
