Windshield scuttle piece - E36

["gbconnolly" <gbconnolly@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael,

Don't be too annoyed with the windshield repair person; we're refurbishing my
son's '92 325IS and this same piece was disintegrating as we 'looked' at it!
They're not expensive, about $75. Canadian ( $55. U.S.) from the dealer, as I
recall, and easy to install.

Cheers,

Greg Connolly, Ottawa, Canada
