Clips for top door trim?

[Ricks3.0]

I am looking for the clips that secure the piece of trim that goes on the top of the door.

Technically the trim that goes between the door and the window. See photo.

Is there a source that these are still available from?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Rick

Hi Rick, I got some from Ben at La Jolla Ind. Not expensive. How many do you need?

Unfortunately I do not have any of them and it is the last 2 pieces that need to go on the car. I believe there are six total.

I will give them a call, thank you for your help.

They are available from BMW, there are on each door trim piece so 8 total.

I just ordered them from La Jolla. My local dealer could not get them.

Thanks.

You might not need them, I didn't just some adjustment from a rubber mallet.

You need them, but use three by the window, not any by the wind wing. Much easier to remove later, tap trim down over the clips ( on the door itself) with a piece of wood and a mallet

Mine are on pretty tight, they rise a little at the opening end, but only a mill or two, I just push them back down as needed, but I hadn't thought to put the clips on first and didn't install them for fear of cutting through the new paint.
