Hey can somebody tell me whether part # 911 631 115 02 (the gasket underneath the headlight trim ring) is supposed to be a closed / continuous circle, or does it have a break?

One of mine came loose (it has a break). Upon inspection, the other one has a break too. Looking at the parts catalog, it looks like those are supposed to be "O" shaped?.?.?

Thanks...

closed. I took some thin black nylon thread and stitched a couple threads thru the ends and its stayed together for 5 years. I had bought new ones but never replaced it.

That's what I figured, thanks...

Both of mine are split, thought that's the way they were.

Mine are split also. Every once in a while an end starts creeping around the cover and starts waving in the wind. I'm goin to try your nylon thread tech. tip.

Mine are pending replacement. Bought from Sunset.

That's what I also used successfully. The seals appear to be extrusions that are bonded to form the correct diameter. I do not believe they are molded, so breakage at the joint is common (at least it is for me).
