E39 - underbonnet sound deadening removal

[piriaka 0]

Hi everyone

I have a problem - the rubber tubing to the window washer nozzels have come off one side. I need to take the under bonnet sound deadening off.

There are what seems plastic screws into plastic inserts that hold the deadening in place.

My problem is that all but two, seemed to unscrew BUT the last two have stripped the heads! Bugger.

So, do I need to drill these out now? And are there replacements available??

Any other suggestions??

Regards

Ray

Ray, You should be able to slip a fine screwdriver under the centre part & lever out while trying to unscrew.

Otherwise grasp the head with a pair of side cutters & ease it out.

You should be able to get new replacement clips if needbe easy enough
