Trapezoid mirror seal Part # request please

[Armond]

I have an old trap mirror that needs some attention. Does anyone have the part # of the seal? is it # 12 form the photo? (12 is NLA) Thanks

very close fit...You can also "glue" the mirror glass in with neatly tooled white silicone sealer after you remove the spring behind the glass.

I did a column on this repair a couple of years ago...lemme know if you'd like a copy.

cheers

Hmmm. Both Maxi and Bell BMW have them listed ($17.46 & $15.26 resp).

The complete mirror assy is available (high $$$) so someone must be making the seals.

Hope they fit better than the trap mirror to door seals that BMW are making now.

I needed one to refurb a mirror, but decided it was just better to buy the new mirror since my glass was also chipped ((the glass was about $60 or the whole mirror kit and caboodle was about $185 from the dealer)) Plus, the mounting set screw is now a metric hex instead of a regular screwdriver...makes install and future removal much easier. mine rounded off instantly and I had to carefully drill it out.

I see them on E-bay a lot for like... I am thinking $17.00 ????

others can chime in.

I have a NOS set somewhere, will check my stash and advertise later.

I'm interested to know what the MB part is or perhaps the fix you wrote about. Thanks in advance.

That was going to be my question.

Are the mirror to door seals available? Have they gone "stupid pricing" yet?

Note to self- Start buying up E30M3 trim bits while they are still "normal priced".

I thought that Tulix guy was selling all the parts needed to refurbish the traps.

I remember his name when I was going to do it two years ago but bought a new one from Blunt before I contacted him.

Could try him Armond. I think I have his name right. I would have to look in my parts emails for his name.

The MB part number is 1088110065. For non-convex glass. Only $2.83 from internet vendors like Autohaus AZ. I compared this to the pricey Mobile-T part, and this will fit.

So this is the gasket which will fit?

Trap Mirror to door gasket/seal is available, but what comes from BMW now does not match my original Trap Mirrors. Left long enough in boiling water they can be stretched to suit though.

Maybe the new Trap Mirrors have a different shaped base now?

First pic is what you get now, 2nd is the original one.
