Roof Trim Clips

Post by Boggie »

Hi All,

Along the full length of the roof, on each side from A-pillar to the C-pillar, above the door openings , there is a gutter. On these gutters there is a 3-piece black trim and where the sections meet, there are black spring steel clips covering the joins.

I am missing 2 of these clips. Have any of you some spares I could buy please?

Thanks,
Ian

Those are still available from the stealers, but they are not cheap!! I think I paid about £23 each!!

Thanks Janbers,

Not according to my local BMW dealer and the parts guy there is a classic enthusiast who always goes the extra mile for me.

However, that's not to say he is right this time. Is there another part number for these? The number from RealOEM for the 635 is NLA according to his system but it could be that they were common to other cars...

Cheers,

I had the same problem. Luckily found a wrecked e24 in a salvage yard so took a flyer and drove 45 minutes. Sure enough, there were 2!

Best of luck!!
