Looking for some advice on where i can purchase a new front windscreen rubber.
Also does anybody have an idea what they cost.

Hi Sean, the part number is 51317017021. Google this and see where the best place is for your location. I am in France and ordered from Hubauer Shop in Germany for an OEM item. Just over €40 delivered which was a good price and quick delivery. Local windsceen shop in Grenoble was reluctant to do it in case they broke the screen, but there are a few videos on YouTube on how to do it. I bought some plastic trim tools and something called Goo Gone which is a spray cleaner to remove any adhered bits of old trim. Apparently the channels need to be very clean for an easier installation. Will carefully give it a go this winter after I put the car away for storage

I bought one online....cost me about £44 including postage.
I fitted it myself....on my E86.
Heard a few stories about cracked windscreens caused by DIY jobs but having done it myself, I can only presume those with cracked windscreens had the wrong tools, were heavy handed or clumsy.....or a combination of all three.
Fitting it was straightforward and took me about 45mins......including removing it to refit it because it wasn't sitting just right.

Incidentally, I'm not sure what the difference is but the part number I ordered and fitted was 513 172 10011. Fitted my E86 coupe perfectly
