Door Panel / Cards Plastic Stand-Off Brackets (Got any?)

[Hwy1Strat]

Does anyone know (or have some lying around) the plastic stand-off brackets that are glued to the door cards? I need to do the JB Weld trick to fix mine and I noticed that I am missing a few.

If anyone has a 318ti that they are parting out and the drivers side door is trashed, I would be interested in scoring the black plastic stand-off brackets.

I don't think you can buy them separate from the door panels / cards them selves.

Thanks!

Hey, anyone know where I can get a door panel (drivers side or passenger side, doesn't matter which color or condition as long as the brackets are all there)? I called Bav Recycling and they want stupid money for a pretty beat up used door panel (like almost $200+ shipping).

I just need to get the stand-off / brackets off the panel. They are the same for either side. My interior panels are in great shape, I just need to get the stupid brackets so I can fix my drivers side door panel.

I wish BMW had them as seperate part numbers. Aparently they have been made from Unobtainium.

Put in the car year and model.
Then put door panels in the search box and the clips you're looking for should pop up!
Good luck!

I am not talking about the white "tree" clips that fasten the door card to the metal door structure. On the back of the card, there are black plastic stand-off brackets that the clips attach to. I am missing some of these. These do not have a part number that is separate from the door panel it's self. Thanks for the help through! I think I have found a solution.

I had to jbweld mine today, I wish I could help you out! Any junk yards near you? I might be able to check out my local yard but I won't make it there until next weekend...

they aren't available separately any where unfortunately, if you need them you'll have to either buy a complete door panel from the dealer or private seller or swipe them off a junkyard car, but they're ti-specific so you may not be able to find them

I dont understand why its so difficult to find these parts.Even if you find a door panel it maybe missing these black brackets or door mounts whatever you want to call them.Do you think these pecies can be recreated?or is there some kind of way to substitute these parts?You said discovered something can u please enlighten my.

Thanks

I'm needing to replace at least the #10 plastic pylon/bracket/thingamajigger. I know someone somewhere on the forum not too long ago mentioned something about having some extras or spares they were willing to sell. It was within the last year or two.

I too would like to know what anyone has come up with as a solution besides using the actual plastic pieces as replacements. I've thought of fashioning small wooden blocks, drilling a hole in one end for the plastic fastener and gluing the other end to the cardboard. Wood isn't the best solution, but there are very few junk yards around me and they typically only have cars that 5 years old (10 if I'm lucky). All of them said they rarely see and don't keep cars from the 1990s.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

It would be nice if someone reproduced them or came up with a new system. I am missing 2 or 3 of them myself.

I noticed the same problem and have researched everywhere and tried contacting several dealers and no luck. You cannot find this piece for sale anywhere, your only luck is junkyards or part outs.


So I want to ask everyone if they are interested in a "Group Buy" as I have a very close friend who has a special machine to replicate these parts, they not exactly like the OEM as they are patent but they do the same function. It would be a pack of 10 for each door for around $35.00 , here's the thing about the "group buy" the more people interested the cheaper.

that would be awesome, I'm fortunate enough to have all of mine but I'm sure a lot of people on here would be interested in those
