I hadn't intended to do anything to the interior at this point in time (my reasoning being that I would do a mini restoration of the interior at a later date) but having taken all of the glass out for paint I figured now was the time to do the head lining at least. As usual mission creep has set in slightly so along with the head lining, new rear seat belts and the door card refurbishment, I ended up repairing a weird issue with the drivers seat. The driver's seat had always had a weird 'list' to the seat back and I had noted that a PO had put a small chunk of wood onto the inside horizontal plate to take up the slack between this plate and the bottom of the seat back pivot bracket when leant against. Of course, this also meant that the inside catch was inoperative as it was unable to hook under the plate - not good in a crash I expect. I was fully expecting to have to weld the frame as I assumed something had previously broken. When I got the seat up on the bench and examined it i could see that somehow the two geared pivots that control the seat back angle had some how got out of step. The two sides are linked by a steel bar with splined ends that is supposed to rotate with the geared portion of the pivot and ensure both sides rotate by the same amount. I removed the pivots from both sides of the seat, rotated both to the same equivalent position and then bolted them both back to the seat with the connecting rod in between. Voila! The list had gone, I could finally sit square in the seat and, more importantly, the seat back catches on both sides would be effective. I replaced the head lining using ClayW's method with about 200 1" bulldog clips. I actually discovered that I had foam insulation installed under the head lining that looked stock. I was surprised as I thought that there would only be painted steel up there. Not complaining as it may help with hot sun on the roof in summer so I left it in place and buttoned it back up again. The head lining went in ok and I replaced the black vinyl covers over the A and B posts using the same bulldog clip and contact cement technique. The sun visors were in great condition except for the white side having some weird staining /discoloration that I could not remove. In the end I masked the black half off around the seam and gave them a couple of light coats of matt white acrylic spray paint. They don't quite match the head lining which is more creamy white but at least they look clean. When I removed the old head lining, I noted that a PO had glued the interior dome light to the head lining, presumably as they had managed to break all of the mounting clips off at some point. Something else to add to the list for replacement. Displacement of the seat back pivots. A post vinyl being glued in place. The roof insulation that looks factory Head lining goes in. Sunvisor before and after.

Does anyone have a cross reference to the same part, perhaps with a lower price point? The inner door, (attaches with the door panel), felt fuzzy weatherstrip piece, About $55 each, but this part seems sort of universal, so perhaps there is the same item available without the vintage price? thanks, I'll go look too, just wondering if someone else has already sourced this, -

Simeon posted a topic in BMW 2002 and other '02
Hey, can anyone tell me approximately how much adhesive would be needed for a whole car? Doors, trunk etc? I have a choice between 5 fl/Oz tube or 500ml tin? -
Hi, I'm looking for the seals for windshield and rear glass rubber seals for a 76 002. I prefer the ones with the locking strip (also needed). Interested in other weather stripping as well. All the rubber seals are also needed as mine is all rotted. Please send an estimate with shipping to 77546. Thanks!, Jesse
