Plastic Clips for early waistline trim

[02Anders]

Quite the longshot this one...  

 

While I don't know the exact cut-off date, I'll guesstimate that the first 2 years of 02 production ('66 and '67) used waistline trim with a different profile on the back, and hence used a different type of plastic clips to retain the waistline trim on the bodywork. I sadly don't have a parts number for these plastic clips, but only a fairly poor pic. As you can see they are round rather than the oblong plastic clips used on later 02's.

 

 

I'm in need of at least 6 of these old-style plastic clips for my '66.
Can anyone help me?

Please either PM me or write me directly on andersbilidt (a) hot mail dot com

I checked RealOEM and I think that is part #51135480112. Funny, I just noticed there was an X in the quantity column. Does that mean BMW doesn't know how many are needed?

 

Jake Sweeney seems to have them for the cheapest price... which is ridiculously expensive considering they are listed at $0.90.

Good luck!

Hi Anders,

 

I'll poke around in my and my father's parts drawers for some we've pulled off of cars. That or, I might have some on one of the cars still that I don't need.

 

Cheers,

Oh boy, I need a few of these too, at least 4 to be exact. Once Anders gets what he needs, let me hop on this trim train!

Hi Anders, if nobody can help, maybe I can reproduce it. Contact me by mail if I can help.  Regards Wolfgang

@TG2k2, I could of course be wrong - it sadly happens on a very regular basis...  
But I don't think that's the same part.
It seems that it's been NLA for donkeys years!

 

@tjones02, Tom that would be amazing!!  Please do have a look for me - I would really appreciate it.
I've managed to somehow get hold of a NOS waistline trim for the nose of my '66, and they're unique to the '66 MY only.  Needless to say, I'm pretty damned excited about it, but now need to get 6 of these early clips before I can fit the nose trim to my 1600-2...

 

@whs.de, Wolfgang, I'll just wait and see whether Tom can fish a little gold out of his garage.
If not, I'll definitely take you up on that offer - thx!

Thanks for the heads up @02Anders... hopefully you'll be able to find them NOS or second hand somewhere! I will certainly let you know if I come across any!

Esty, those clips which you link to are the normal 02 waistline clips.  I need the early ones which are round instead of oblong.  The profile on the back of those first waistline trim was different, and they won't attach when I use the later oblong clips.  These round clips were only used for approx. the first 2 years of 1600-2 production - possibly even less than 2 years.  They've been NLA forever!!  I'm guessing I'll have to be lucky and find some secondhand ones from someones parts stash...

i learned something today...i was unaware that there was any difference in any waistline trim...thanks for cluing me in to something new

 

you still might want to do some searching on that website...if you find them anywhere, new, it will be there....good luck in your search

[TG2k2]

Esty, that's a great site! Thanks for sharing. Looks like maybe the "Mini-Cooper Body Side Moulding Retainer with Sealer" could be a match. Not exact but looks pretty close!!!

These are similar to the ones Etsy posted but they look more like the round ones in your picture (with the seal at the base). Do the ones on the car up from behind the sheet metal? I wonder what they look like from behind.

Just snapped some photos of the clips on my 67

@esty, we live and learn a little every day.... 

 

@bluebmw, it would appear that you still have the correct clips on your '67.

Take good care of them...

Not the same color but they are BMW clips:
