Need an exterior trim piece for the exterior verticle part, on the left side of the windshield. Gloss black. The last windshield changer must not have used enough glue - it blew away a couple of days ago.

 

Your best bet is going to be ordering one from Morristown MINI, www.pelicanparts.com, or your favourite OEM parts vendor.

That part is less than $45 new, and I doubt you'll find too many people with an extra one lying around, although you might get lucky.

If you'll post the details of your car (year & model), I'll be happy to give the exact part number.

 

It is a 2003 Cooper S

Thanks for your help - here in the Heart of Illinois, our closest dealer is 140 miles

Bob, feel your pain on Cen IL dealers.

I have had really good luck ordering parts from the NAM vendor Classic Auto Campus 440.205.6404. Jason is the guy to talk to and make sure you mention you are a NAM member to get your discount. If you need help finding the right part number you can check RealOEM:

Hope that helps.

 

I keep both sides in stock, along with the foam backing. It blows off because they glue it. They glue it because they break the clips and don't stock them.

I am also looking for exterior trim piece that sits above the A pillar on a 2003 Mini Cooper S. I tried looking on the pelican website, but could not find it.
Could you send me in the right direction?
Thanks much
