1991 325i Convertible Referb

[Retired Guy]

I'm beginning a refurb on all the misc wear and breakage-prone trim parts on my E30. Also things like renewing the window regulators and tracks. You can see my ride in my new member post of a couple days ago. Doing a lot of research on RealOEM and Bimmerworld to get oriented. Just ordered a Bentley manual. I've owned the car for 29 years, but am a novice regarding the items that need attention. I'll be using this post thru the entire process and hope to generate/share details of the processes/procedures as I learn and do.

Right now, a simple question: Can anyone provide the part number for the ripped-in-half rubber trim piece in the picture? Can't find it anywhere on RealOEM. Thanks.

Found the part. RealOEM - Vehicle Trim -> Door,Front -> E30 Front window guide -> #10 51361933773 (left) & 51361933774 (right)

I'm on the same journey. Some of the parts on RealOEM are grouped in ways that aren't always intuitive. I've worked my way through all of the common rubber bushings. Next up, for me, are the rattly door internals.

I'm going to be cleaning and referbing the window regulators in the doors. I'm all for OEM when in makes sense (most of the time it does), but the door card clips are ridiculous expensive for those little pieces of plastic. Does anyone have a good aftermarket source for these?
