Anyone know where to buy a vapour shield and window mechanism from?
Found a mechanism on eBay. But not the vapour shield. Can these be repaired?

If it's not torn then you can probably reuse it.

You may get the part number on here.... https://www.realoem.com/

If not try giving a local dealer a call if there's any open anywhere!

You'll also need Butyl tape.

you'll need to be sitting down too when you get the price. I ordered a pair from my stealer and if I remember rightly they were £68 for two bits of foam ! :o :o

Jesus Christ. In the most it’s on just one corner was been on and off a few too many times.
The mechanism is goosed too. Looks like a cable has rusted, jammed the wheel on the motor and snapped the cable/a bit of its plastic cover.

I was £358 for BMW in Glasgow to replace the lot.

£68 isn't a bad price really if you're doing it yourself.
