    Help with windshield trim part

    Looks like I have a piece of windshield trim missing. It's located on the passenger side at the bottom edge of the windshield. Any idea where I can search for the part number or the name of this piece? When I drive my car with the windows closed, it sounds loud like the window is cracked open. I recently had my windshield replaced by BMW and I am almost positive it didn't sound like this before the replacement. Unfortunately for me, they took before and after pictures and it clearly shows that piece was missing before they replaced the windshield. Thanks for any help!

    I believe the part is #7 in the diagram here: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=51_0730

    You’ll also need some #8s with the associated grommet to hold it in place.

    ...but that part will not create the noise you describe. Needs replacing, sure... but there is something else going on
