As we all know, the rear top molding trim on the R52(2008) convertibles easily deteriorates.

If you shop around you see that to replace both the left and right sides is going to cost you around $400.00.

After doing a whole bunch of shopping around, I was able to locate the same trim for a R57(2009-2015) at a better price from a used auto parts place. The rubber looks good. And looking at the online pictures and diagrams from Mini, they almost look the same, downright identical. Are they? What is different?

Has anyone tried putting R57 rear molding trim on a R52? Does it work?

Thanks for your anticipated response...
