I've been looking around all the e30 forums and haven't found anything close to what i need to know about interior parts fitment. i recently bought a 89 325i and am going through the process of fixing a lot of what has gone by the waist-side over it's previous years of ownership. here are the current problems i haven't figured out yet:
1. the check panel (behind the rear-view mirror) has metal clips on the top side to 'snap in' to the front plastic part of the headliner where the visors are. the side closest to the window however don't have clips and appear to just have a small groove which i'm guessing uses the edge of the opening to grab onto...well it doesn't grab anymore and i have a check panel half hanging out of the opening. it doesn't appear the sides of the check panel are too worn down, but is there supposed to be additional clips or anything to keep this panel in place? is the old vinyl coming off of the old front visor panel causing this problem?
2. the headlight switch in my car pops out when you pull the switch out to turn on the parking and low beams. it seems secure on the right side closer to the steering column, but near the door car it's not secured at all. do the switch panels have clips on either-side and mine is just broken? do i need a new one?
TIA :beer:
