Rubber Grommet's Under Door Handle

Post by Silver Surfer »

Just noticed that when my car was resprayed the rubber grommet's on which the door handle sits are missing and as a result the door handle when released slams in to the metal of the car - this has led to scratched paint work and a bit of rust emerging as well :( body shop guy has agreed to repair it but I need to find these grommet's and also find out where they are fitted under the door handle..

1) Can someone very kindly post a picture of where they are placed under the door handle and what they look like?

2) I've checked on the bmw oem website http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do ... g=41&fg=40 is it number 13 that I need to purchase? If these are not what I need any idea where I can purchase them?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, the part you're looking for is part #13. Under the handle are to holes where you put those rubber grommets.
