Part ID Question

[bendoty]

I am trying to find the rubber/fuzzy weather strip that sits between the door window and chrome strip.

I was given part number (3) 51 21 1836 291, but I think I need (4) 51216454229 or (8) 51211847798. I'd like to get the groups thoughts?

Thanks for the help.

it be the 229

They are P/N 51216454229.

Blunt and Jaymic have reproduction seals at a good price (shipping is a bit slow from Jaymic). I got mine from them when rebuilding my door and panel and they fit well.

They are about $40-45 apiece for OEM from a dealer vs about $15-20 apiece from Jaymic or Blunt.

This is the part I ended up ordering becasue the pictures looked like what I was pulling off the car.

The 229 part did not look right. We will see.

The correct part is

51211847798

Its the one that is about maybe 24 inches long, is hard plastic and has a thin fuzzy strip on the inner side which rubs against the window.

The 229 that everyone else mentions is a rubber sealing strip that sits under the wing window, that is about maybe 8 inches and outrageously priced. I found a perfect replacement from Steele Rubber products for about $4.
