    I have a friend...

    I have a friend who owns a plastic injection mold company located in Tennessee. Because the Convertable top filler covers are very hard to find, he said he would like to have a set to see if he can make a duplicate copy for a mold. He said he can use a set on loan or if someone has a spare set they wouldn't mind having used for this purpose. He is legit and has produced discontinued parts for cars and bikes before. I think there is a market for this as it is a matter of wanting it but not necessary needing it. Please let me know if we can make this happen. OEM #'s 54340300393, 54340300382.

    Holy cow!? If I would have know these were difficult to find, I would have been much nicer to them as I pulled the roof on my car?!
    Will he promise me to get them back(in same condition) if I pull and send him the current ones on my car to help the folks who may need them?

    I got a set last year from a BMW dealership in the Montreal Canada area. They problem seems to be the ability of the dealerships to ship to the US. I drove up and picked them up. If you know somebody up in the area, have them buy them and ship to you. I Googled the BMW dealerships. None had them in stock, but they were available in the Canadian warehouse. Again this was last year and I did post this after I got them.

    These are very expensive. If you can find them, why they didn't come OEM is beyond me. Another replacement part that is way overpriced is the plastic that covers the convertible top motor on the windshield. Mine fell off due to the brittleness of the little locking tabs. I've looked into replacing it, but have almost decided on putting it back up with 3m two sided tape.

    Did you say you have a set and are willing to loan them out?
    if so - we should revive this project - I know there are many people who would love to get a set of these...
