Has anyone found a generic version of the grommets for our windscreen?
I bought this bike in 2018 with 500 miles on it. I'm now approaching the 50k mark.

As a side thought, get the part number and search the internet. Some might sell a bag at a much lower "per piece" cost or someone might have an aftermarket that works as well. Smart retailers will code an item to match an OEM item number on a search.

Zitat von Robin Dean im Beitrag #1 That's odd you have to keep replacing them.

I bet you can buy similar grommets from a hardware supply store, eBay, or some other source other than BMW. After all, I am sure that BMW doesn't make those grommets and buys them from an outside vendor. Rubber grommets are used in a number of applications and I am sure they are available from some supplier, probably very cheaply and in bulk. Fortunately, I have never needed to replace one, so I haven't had to address this problem.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #5 Richard.....Richard......Just look at those flanged button head 5mm torx barrel screws that keep your Tupperware in place. Just find a few of those at the local ACE or TrueValue. Can't even find them at McMaster or Grainger.

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #6 These are close. Probably don't have the pointed end. https://www.belmetric.com/stainless-torx...la417jhif8iu2k6 ISO 7380-2 Torx Belmetric.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #4Zitat von Robin Dean im Beitrag #1 that's what I was thinking - mine or okay after 4.5 years. I was wondering if the OP has changed the screen and over-tightens the fasteners or uses a cleaner or Rain-X type product that degrades the rubber. |

Do you have the steel flange sleeves (p/n 46637724481) installed in the rubber grommets? They are easy to lose when the windshield is removed and prevent excessive squishing of the rubber. Three years and 37K miles and my original grommets are intact.

Here is the part number but does not look like it is available on eBay. I found them from motorworks.co.uk for £1.91/ea, but probably is not worth the shipping to US. |

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #6Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #5 The bolts that MachineArt Moto supplies are very similar though they lack the pointed end. They might be able to point you to a supplier. Regardless, it's highly likely that all these fasteners, grommets, etc are made to BMW's exact spec and not some standard part.
