e36 saloon - L shaped rubber seals

My search for replacement L-shaped rubber seals for the top left/right corners of the rear windscreen is grinding to a halt.
The ones on my '98 e36 saloon have completely perished and its really annoying me.
They are small (about 4x4x1cm) black rubber seals that pop into the gap left at the top corners of the window.

My local german car parts place cant get them, the dealer wants to sell me the complete rubber surround (or chrome - BAH!). And to top it off RealOEM doesnt show clearly what i'm looking for but its POSSIBLY this:
- RUBBER BUFFER, 51311925433

Does anyone have any idea what they are called or even better what part number they are???

Judging form the pics on the ETK, I dont think it's the right part, but can't quite work out what it's for either!

As they cost about 40p from the dealer, it might be worth giving it a shot anyway!!

same here,i need 2 corners and 2 of the bottom ones

yep i need the bottom ones aswell

As far as I know the moulding on your rear screen comes in two parts one piece for the bottom of the screen and one for the top and two sides, including the two top corner pieces,so basically they are not available separately.If the moulding is anythng like the one for the coupe rear screen(reinforced with a light metal), then it wouldn't be possible to fit to the glass with the screen in the car.As for the bottom pieces I'm not sure wether they are available seperately or not. 

 

Tried to locate some of these myself a couple of years ago with no success. Went to main agent who said they would only come with a complete new rear window.  Ha Ha !!. Got a mate who fits Upvc windows. He let me have a look in the back of his van. Behold all shapes, sizes and profiles of black rubber gasket window seals. Found some a very similar shape, cut it to size, a bit of mastic and no one could tell the difference. So ambush a couple of window fitters and you might get lucky. Had to buy him a pint mind, but then he bought me one back and a bag of peanuts so not a bad deal really.

Did anyone ever find the part number for these?  I've just bought a 325td and all 4 corners are knackered, will this mean it can leak?

Cheers,

Rob.

Thanks for that, I've ordered the parts from BMW.  You have to order the whole seal because the corners are attached to it, does that sound right? 

Has anyone changed the rear rubber themselves? is it hard? does the window need to come out?

Many Thanks 

Update: I ordered the equivelant of part number 3 on the diagram above. It was about 26 euro and removal of the old 5 part seal was easy and fitting of the new 1 piece seal even easier. I did not require any tools (just strong fingers!). Done in about 10 minutes.

That sounds better then my silicone idea.
