Subject: got new delivery toothed steel gear for rear sunblind Author: shogun (moderator) : member since March, 2004 : 12995 posts Posted on: 2009-01-31 02:13:52

Made by my friend to replace the worn old gear, typical symptoms is rattling rear sunblind, no proper working. Used in all E32, E34, E31 and even E38 till 1996 for sure, even some till 1998, also some Benz and Audi models.


As you know, the original one is made of a kind of plastic and the teeth get damaged over time. A single gear is not available from the dealer but only a complete gear with motor.
One possibility is this repair by Jon Evans repair by Jon
The other one is to buy an expensive complete replacement from the dealer. $190.84 accdg. to realoem.
