petone 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2004 500 bucks! what does that buy you? I thought stealers weren't to bad, but today i rung up about sunroof seal and they said $300! for a length of rubber! Do you still have the little knob or have you lost it? Glue it on if you still have it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m325i 709 Report post Posted August 23, 2004 i had it but it was broken. Glueing wont work because then it wont spin. Mite have to try mitre 10 for a generic knob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
