Title: Where to buy new sunroof lever knob?
Post by: nomad on July 06, 2007, 11:37:54 AM

Any leads on where to buy a sunroof knob? The lever is fine but the knob just disintegrated in my hand this AM.

I've only been able to find the full crank.  My knob always pops out when I'm cranking, but it's only a minor annoyance.  If you find just a knob, let me know cuz I'd replace it I guess if I could just get that piece.

Check ebay. Search BMW E30 sunroof. The whole deal is $5.50.

Dang, I just want the knob. I don;t know how long these others would last if they are used ones.
Maybe I should carve one.

No way around it, had to order a new crank from Bavarian Autosport this week since my crank and nob broke.  For this its better to buy new part since most of these used knobs have being around for the last 16 years plus the cost is low for peace of mind knowing its "your" wear and tear then someones elses.
