I think you are talking about the hatch handle button rubber ? Its part of the handle and not a separate part.

There is a primed version: Part # 51132754240 ( people transfer there painted cover to the new front part of the handle. )

&

The chrome version.

Trunk Lid Grip - Chrome Part # 51132753603

There is also a carbon fiber version.

Thanks and let me know which one you need.

thats the one for $83 though, i think i'll wait a bit, button still works as is. If you get a return, or scratch and dent or something keep me in mind. thanks for the Id though i appreciate it.

Chrome one, ok. Are you getting any water on the inside of the handle? If so over time you might have some damage.

Just check our site, if we do get any Scratch or Dent, it will be under the same part number to find it. We don't have any like that right now.

Thanks

no water in as far i can tell. cant imagine any could get in unless aimed or splashed in really. Maybe duct tape it (its out of view anyways) as a temp cover. and thank you i'll keep a look out.

Ok, Yea the Gen 1 and Gen 2 MINIs get water / salt (which leads to rust ) up north here on those from the aerodynamics of the hatch when its raining. So keep an eye out on it for the switch to stop working if water gets in there, I know down south you don't have salt, but water could get in there.

Thanks
