Title: radiator rubber brackets, how to put on?
Post by: b_cyrus on April 10, 2012, 09:40:48 PM

so I'm putting a new front end on the car, so basically I don't have any of the parts, but the top radiator bracket, can anyone look at their car, and see if the rubber is supposed to be attached to the black plastic? I'm looking at it, and I don't see how the rubber could possibly attach onto the plastic.

Thank you in advance! Apparently on the bottom of the radiator, I need some plastic supports? I'm in a rut! Thank you!

Here's the illustration from BMWfans.info if you don't have it. RealOEM is another great resource.

thanks, I checked beforehand. I checked the part numbers and they sent me 4 lower rubber mounts instead of two top/two bottom. Lol oops!
