I recently purchased a used BMW 2000 Profil roof rack from eBay for an e46 2002 330i. It is in great shape. However, since it was used the gutter protectors that need to be installed on the car didn't come with the roof rack. I didn't realize I would need those until after the rack was delivered. Also, I am not sure if they can be taken off the car once installed. According to the manual that came with the rack there is a left and right protector for each corner of the rack.
I went to the dealer and they were able to look up the part number in their system. But they were showing only one part number. I ordered it anyway and today I went to pick up the parts. The part I got 82-79-0-027-327 doesn't look like it will fit into the rain gutter slot, too big. It looks like there was an engineering change made to connect the left and right protectors.
Does anyone know if there was an engineering change made to this part or what the correct part number should be for both the left and right protector part numbers? In case I can't get the correct part has anyone used something else as a rain gutter protector? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
