where this seal goes?

How long is it? Are you missing any rubber on the firewall of the engine bay, on the fenders inside the engine bay>>> is all your boot seal rubber in place? Is it the length of your sunroof? There is a rubber piece that is visible when the tilt function is employed (on the innards of the transfer bridge {my term} )
That was my guess too. If there are any small holes, from metal staples, that would pretty much confirm it's from a front fender liner.
It doesn't appear long enough for the hood/firewall gasket, and I'm not sure if the cross-sectional shape is correct.
The 036 may have different gaskets at the fender liner vs standard 124, but it sure looks like it might be from that area. Photo attached, note the gasket along the outside edge of the liner (multiple sections, stapled on at the factory).

Just for clarification I was speaking of the seals that go down the length of the inside of the fender edge from where the firewall meets the fender to the front edge of the fender. This are straight pieces and are often missing from our cars... the W140 chassis cars used them, too.
