Two parts my bodyshop removed and I don't know where they go!

Post by dbenson »

All,

While doing windows out on my e28 M5, the team removed two things (they removed EVERYTHING!) that I am unaware of their purpose or location. Im guessing door or vent-ish.

Figured 10 of you would know in about 7 minutes.

Thanks a mill in advance!

Thanks 1st 5er,

Seems chrome does not do anything unencrypted these days. Links below.

If I'm seeing them correctly, those pieces go under the front of the sport seats covering the electrical connections, motors, etc.

Edit, see next post.

Pics do work for me. Looks like the shield for the power lock/power window where it goes from the body to the door. I kind of thought they were drivers door only, but maybe both fronts. Might be riveted on not screwed, but shouldn't be a big deal to reinstall. #17 on the linked page. https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showpa ... Id=41_0637

With all due respect, I remember removing these items from my 1988 E28, and i have not put them back. They go in the doorjam, WITH screws holding them in. I can snap a photo later if I think of it. Unless these photos are an optical illusion, I'm quite certain that is where they reside. You will find the holes for the screws that line up. I kinda remember the screw being like a stove bolt...
