    Our 05 Cooper did the same thing. Took it to the dealer to replace under warranty. We now keep garaged about 90% of the time. It has been a year or so since replacement. I think the rubber gets dried out from the sun. I don't know how much they charge. But it didnt take longer than about 5-10 minutes to install.

    Mine 05 did the same thing. Replaced under warranty. The molding itself should not be too much $$$ and replacement is a snap. Literally. Three or four clips.
