Is it a false economy to buy a second hand but good condition boot seal - should I just buy a new one from BMW?

And how about a 3rd solution? : Try a new (not second hand) one but non BMW genuine, there exist quite a lot I think, and I think the quality is the same

condoms get referred to as rubbers where i come from, so in the context of your thread title, they are ok so long as you turn them inside out and shake the f*ck out of them!

I'm going to be rebuilding the bottom of the rear screen / boot area where it's rusted and thought it would be good to use new seals when putting things back together - I've already got a new rear screen seal sorted.
