Liftgate handle gasket

has anyone ever replaced their liftgate handle gasket?

if so, can you verify for me that this part number is indeed correct?
51137062294

it says part 28 on realoem.com
RealOEM.com * BMW E53 X5 4.6is TRUNK LID/REAR WINDOW

but part 28 doesn't really look at all like what i thought the gasket looked like.

#28 is correct ... Or you can use just the silicone..

i installed the new gasket yesterday, it's a small rectangle that fits around the harness connector opening. Does anyone know if this is the only way for water to get into the hatch/liftgate handle housing?

I noticed on mine that the 4 torx screws that hold it onto the liftgate didn't have any gaskets. I also noticed that after installing the new gasket, the handle sits a tiny tiny bit less snug up to the body. I think it's because the new gasket is not flattened like the old, but i'm not sure.
