    Question Nylon Headrest Nut Replacement Parts Source?

    Had wanted to repair the rear headrest before the weather gets too nice out but I can't seem to find a source for the new nylon replacement part on eBay anymore. Does anyone know of a source for the new part?

    Thanks

    Thanks. I'll send them an email and see if they have any old stock.

    Just spoke with Jeff at Odometergears.com and he said he had never manufactured that part. Guess I'll continue watching for them on ebay for new or look for used parts.

    I had this on my watch list:

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-E38-E39...53.m1438.l2649

    The listing expired, assumably because he ran out, before I could buy mine. I emailed him and he said he was working with a supplier to produce more.

    Available again from KD on eBay. I made an offer of $30 each x 2 + 5 shipping ( total 65 ) just now, and he accepted. I’ll update when they arrive - for the rears on the 750.

    I sent him a message and he said he was out. He messaged me the other day that he got some in and told me to make an offer and he accepted. I have 2 on the way too.

    Good an ya! I had given up for a while but I'll have to start looking on a regular basis. Absolutely drives me nuts every time I start it...

    Curious to know what kind of a pita it is to replace them.
