I have a 2005 R52 cabrio. I'm looking to replace screws that are at the bottom of the convertible top where it meets the rear boot door. They are torx style M20 and measure 18 mm long. They hold the weatherstripping and center rear brake light in place. Any ideas of what the part number is? A photo is below. THANKS

 

if you want OEM ones...
Go to realoem.com
enter your production date...and go to the diagrams of the area of the car you are working on...
it will show a schematic...and include part's for all scews, etc, along with a "suggested" price.

 

You can take it to Lowes as they have a metric screw and bolt section. They might have it.

 

Show a picture of where they go on the car. If there are 4 of them, it may be part # 51131879479 from the dealer.

AutoZone can also identify and replace metric metal fasteners if that is easier to find.

 

Looks like its not separate but part of one of the trim install kits( seperate from convertible trim kit ). The larger side screw #24, near the front side does not look like it either.



It looks like the screws that go a the way across the trim and insert into the holes that mount these to the bottom of the convertible top.

" it may be part # 51131879479 from the dealer " Looks like this and has a Phillips head.



Thanks and hope that helps.

 

Woodstudio - Good news , we found the hardware people have been looking for on the R52 MINI Convertible and have included with our rear trim install kit.

These will be back in stock soon.

We also have it on its own , just for people who have repaired the trim and need just the hardware. The pop rivets are included in the kit from MINI , but they are there for a little bigger repair, the trims use all but the pop rivets.
