Sound Protection Cap

[motion]

Does anyone have a source for the rubber gaskets (left/right) that attach to the sound cap? I've always found it strange that with all of the pieces and parts available for all various BMW components, that they don't offer replacements. Thanks

That part does not have it's own part number and comes with the cap.

I just think $800.00 to $1,000.00 for a cap to get two new gaskets is a little excessive for me. I wish they'd offer just the gaskets.

A very expensive part for sure. Turner appears to have it for $350

Damn! Replacing these gaskets was on my to-do list. Looks like I'll be making my current ones work instead.

Why don't you find a decent used one? If your gaskets are shot there must be someone who has either a decent cover or could just pull gaskets off of theirs and send them to you.

The only reason I was looking to replace it is because the passenger side falls off every time I lift the cover off. Pretty sure some adhesive would fix it right up.

Lol mine does that too. Drives me nuts! The rubber rings on the four hold downs fall off too and get lost down in the intake. Also drives me nuts! I try not to remove it very often if I can avoid it.
