WTB Fuse Panel Lid
I would like to find a fuse panel lid for a 1985 635CSi. The one on my car is excellent except for the broken latch so a replacement must be in excellent condition.

New from the dealer is about $22
That said: the quality of the plastic used is not what it was on the originals and I have seen them warp after limited time in use. The clip on the originals would snap in short order but the lids did not warp. Pick your flavor.

Replace the gasket with the old one or use a screw in the provided hole until the new gasket has a chance to settle in.

Like much else today, these lids are probably (badly) made in China.Alpinacsi wrote:New from the dealer is about $22

I've only ever seen one car with an intact clip.Horsetan wrote:Like much else today, these lids are probably (badly) made in China.Alpinacsi wrote:New from the dealer is about $22
