That's true. I'm sure I can find the rubber seals. My mission now is to replace the blind and make the interior look better

But before that, where can I find a brand new blind? Does eBay or Amazon have generic products

The VW parts department at your local dealer will probably be your best bet, you pay a bit more, but you get OEM parts and fast delivery.
I don't have access to ETKA at the moment, but the parts guys at VW can look up the part numbers.

You will need to confirm with your VIN but a general check up on a Panorama roof B7 Passat lists the following:
Roller sunblind 1K9 877 307 C.
White St Tropez 7Z0,
Pearl grey 6Z0, or
Titan black EV9.

2 x seals,
Top outer seal 5N0 877 459A
Lower inner seal 8R0 877 439A.

Thank you so much for this information. Seems like all search results points to AliExpress. And they will delay alot due to Chinese new year anyway . I have zero faith in SA VW dealer

They are not too helpful however I found a trimmer who wanted $2000 for the job. I don't have that money lol. So will have to be patient and do more DIY

I am not saying get the job done there just to order the parts in, many smaller parts are actually cheaper than Ali at the dealer, due to the shipping.

I have never had problems with the dealer ordering parts; just ask for the parts department. give them the part numbers or your VIN.

Audi and Skoda dealers can order the parts too if your local VW place is no good
