So you'd rather spend 10-15 dollars on some weather stripping or something from Lowes and try to somehow affix it to your BMW's exterior, instead of just searching the forum classified section for someone parting out their car and purchasing that one piece of molding you need and perhaps a couple clips? Heck, most people parting cars would probably give you a stock base model molding and a few clips for a pack of smokes and postage.
