Shrunken window seal

Hi!

Has anyone experience a shrunken windows seal? My rear ones have shrunken quite a bit and I can't really find replacement in realOEM(or don't know what to choose)

I think that these are the p/n... I have the same issue, but I am not going change it. Doesn't seem to create any wind noise so I will leave it be.

You are lucky! Mine create one hell of a wind noise... Question is if it's possible to heat them and extend them(?)

I don't think so... they have to be replaced. This is a huge oversight from BMW... but at least we don't have dead pixels on clusters anymore.
Can they fix problems with mirrors yet?

yes you can heat and stretch them back out. I did and it worked well. I pulled them out of the channel a bit on the top and down the side that's short, and used a heat gun to warm them up. I then stretched them to proper length and used some automotive adhesive to help secure them. Masking tape helped hold them in place while it cured.
