DavidR8 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I took the plastic off my 2013 so I could install the valve cover protectors. I discovered one of the stainless steel screws and flat nuts (I’m assuming that’s what goes here) had been lost and replaced with a socket head cap screw and a nylock nut. It’s on the left side. The part under the fairing panel where the screw would attach to has quite a large hole, maybe 1/2" diameter so I’m dubious that a flat nut is what goes there. But I cannot find any thing for that area in the parts fiche. Hoping someone with more experience can point me in the right direction. Link to comment

I had a 2006 model, but I believe the bodywork is identical. That particular fixing point is a weird plastic two piece fastener that locks in 1/4 turn (from memory). People don't know how it comes apart so they break it trying to remove it. Hence the replacement. This is the clip:https://www.schmiedmann.com/en/product/1999063-new?product=51-71-1-916-197 and this is the clamp (base) https://www.schmiedmann.com/en/product/1943669-new?product=51-71-1-916-199 You can use sites like https://shop.maxbmw.com/fiche/PartsFiche.aspx to look for the parts and their numbers. 1 Link to comment

Thank you! That's exactly what I was trying to find. Many thanks! Link to comment
