1st Gen R50 Cooper What do you call the exterior plastic trim on either side of the rear window?

It's called Cover, column D

Perhaps #6.... But double check with your model year....

Get the one that isn't coated in parrot sauce...

Welcome to MINI ownership:frown5:

Seriously, the smile that a MINI will put on your face is worth it.

 

Be thankful it's not made by Harley Davidson. Then it would be a Hundred Dollars.

 

Real OEM is your friend:

RealOEM.com   Diagram Selection

 

I use that site all the time to find parts, Part #'s and approximate price.

I get a good discount from my dealer parts guy. :ihih::devil:

 

After you find the part on RealOEM, Google the part number and you'll find prices at online vendors.

There won't be much price variation if MSRP is only $35, but it pays to shop around for more expensive parts.

 

YUP....you will learn to be careful with ice scrapers.....and the same parts are usually changed out when the glass is changed....
and be 100% sure the clips that hold the parts are changed are swapped....the front ones also have a foam backer/gasket...not getting a new one can result in wind noise...

 

Guys he is only talking about the Rear C pillar which is only held on with double sided tape.

People really need to "read" the entire thread sometimes before they comment. :mad2:

He is not talking about the windshield! :incazzato:

 

Yup purely aesthetic and it covers the edge of the glass. :biggrin5:

 

You're obviously a new owner. Before long, you'll be saying, "Only $35? Wow, that's like FREE!".

 

^^^ Yup, anything under $100 I consider cheap.

Just remember BMW owns MINI and BMW stands for Bring Money in Wallet.:lol:

 

I thought it was "Built Mine Wednesday." I've never had a real issue with any of my Beemers, so I guess they must'a all been built mid-week...
