I bought a new bezel and it fits, but only without the rubber seal.
Maybe some aftermarket seals are harder than other. Unfortunately I threw the old one away, stupid mistake.

I will try to figure this out. Fortunately I live in a dry climate and my car never touches rain or wet roads.

I wonder if others skip the rubber seal, can't see it on some pictures on the internet.

My top tab was fairly worn down and I couldn't get the bezels to stay with the seals so I have mounted them without any. I will maybe try the vw seals but for now works fine. YEMV

I thought it was this part (911-631-115-02) but it's the gasket shown in the above thread but it's not the right part.



Any advice would be much appreciated,

Any ideas on this rubber trim on the glass itself?

This is an old thread, but it was right on. I ended up using the idea of sewing the joint together to give it added strength and used the tape idea to help stretch it around. I trimmed the top where the rim hooks on to allow it to grip better.
At least now i will have a good nights sleep!
The instructions should come with the part.
