Unfortunately, yes..
That is the only piece of rubber that is unobtainable and I didn't want to risk destroying it taking it out or removing the stainless trim.
No aftermarket, no NOS, nothing.. I will be shaving some of the cracked rubber that is there and filling it with real rubber weather sealant ... not the shiny silicone stuff.
Car should be home in a few days. Then the assembling will commence !
