Has anyone had their rear windshield seal crack and chip away?
If so, any thoughts on getting it repaired?

yes. i replaced it. the part is less than $50 and can be pressed in place without removing the glass. check youtube.

here you go. video shows an M5, but all cars are the same. literally takes 15 min. start to finish. make sure you have the channel super nice and clean before you press the new seal into place.

Excellent. This looks totally doable. Hopefully I'll be able to post some pics. Thank you very much!!

Yep no worries. Very common problem with these cars BTW. The German manufacturers have to please the tree huggers and are using severely substandard rubbers and plastics in their cars. My nearly 30 year old E30 is still on its original set of exterior window seals, and they don't show any signs of wearing out any time soon.
