I think I'll just get some black silicone and carefully fill-in the areas at each end of the rubber pieces.
I just can't see spending $160 (cost of 2 new trim pieces) for this

There is no concern on my part of water leaking into the X5, as I helped a buddy with a rail delete mod last summer and there are only holes under the trim pieces for the bolts on the rails. Otherwise, it's a welded aluminum channel and no concern with water ingress there.

Thanks.
