On my 318ti the both the driver and passenger side door panels were falling off. Took them both off the doors and was able to fix the passenger side.

As for the driver's side, its missing 2 holders as compared to the passenger side. I have linked photos of this part below:

All I need is the black part- the white rubber pointing piece I can easily get at the dealership. The only alphanumerical markings on it are "VL10". The black part is not sold at the dealership on its own- the guy behind the counter told me that this part is already on door panels when sold and the only way that I can get one is if I buy the whole door panel; even the junkyards I frequent won't sell that piece just to me.

Our family mechanic who helped me with the door told me that the door panel is missing the number 2 and number 9 holders, so the coding on the black piece could be VL2 and VL9. If anyone has these parts from a dead door panel that they dont use anymore that would be great.

Please let me know.

TIA

I don't have the clips, but I thought you might like to know that the clips are simply labled by the number, that is the only marking on them (I recently had to glue mine back on). Hope that helps you somewhat.

When you do get hold of the clip supports, I've had good success with drilling about eight holes in each one and re-gluing them with JB Weld allowing the epoxy mix to ooze through the holes and act like a rivet after it cures. I tried hot glue which worked for about two seconds.
