Broken armrest tread; Do 3 series armrest fit our car?
Hi everyone,
I have the typical broken armrest lid clip in my 128 :/ Has anyone found a cheap solution to this? All I can find on eBay are dirty replacements for $150+. Thanks! |

Somebody could definitely 3d print a replacement clip/mechanism. The only issue I could see is attachment if it's simply like a glue on hook. I'm also not sure if the upper half of the armrest can be opened to swap out the mechanism. |

Busy day prepping my E91 to sell, no opportunity to dig out the 1 series armrest, sorry - will get after it tomorrow.

I would try magnets. Put a couple of those flat steel self-adhesive plates that stick to the back of cell phones on either side of the hole the clip inserts into, then glue a couple of those tiny strong magnets to the underside of the lid so they line up with the plates.
