BMW Part #

[Rizzy]

I need the part number for the weather strip (threshold) at the bottom of the door opening on the chassis.

RealOEM.com was a little unclear.

I looked at that on realOEM.com - it looks too narrow.

Mine looks about 3" wide. Are there 2 or 3 parts combined to make up the big piece?

Thanks

[BLUNT]

are you talking about the plastic threshold? theres the threshold and a rubber seal that attaches to the threshold plate. thats it.

[Rizzy]

Must be. Do you have the number for the plastic threshold plate?

I'm assuming that the part number you sent before was for the seal.

[BLUNT]

yes the part number i listed was the seal. your sill strip could be one of 2 numbers depending on your build date. 4/72 they changed but its moot because both numbers are currently NLA. ive never done it but i would think the later ones could be adapted. perhaps someone on here has done it. they use clips instead of screws if my memory is correct

Yes, I got a pair off a '75 at the junkyard. They have metal clips underneath that snap on the pinch weld with no screws. They cover more of the threshold than the 'correct' narrow ones.

I think mine are what Steve73tii (below) was describing.

So I need to find strips from a '75 ?
