Scuttle panel for E85

Lifer
 Attleborough, Norfolk
The plastic one that hides the wiper motor.
In very good condition please, especially the rubber edge that seals to the windscreen (ie. not great big chunks missing like the one I have!)
Part number 51717043619

Thanks

You're better off going for a new-un. 2nd hand panel is more likely to just degrade quickly, esp if it's an original.
You getting water under it? If so, I did a workaround to stop water ingress whereby I affixed two mating beads of weatherstrip across the entire leading edge of the windscreen and underside of the scuttle. It's fixed my ingress issue.

Cheers Chris,
I'll be off to Lithuania then :roll:

TBH I should have replaced mine way back when as I knew it was the probable culprit. The workaround has worked but it still looks a bit tatty with cracks here and there. Just checked my local BMW dealer. Eu155 inc vat.

Managed to find a very good secondhand one, so going for that for now.
Funnily enough there's no great signs of water ingress, but big chunks missing in the N/S corner where it meets the screen.
