I am looking for a good OEM part supplier for trim on an MCS. I need to replace my roof rain gutter after my roof rack ripped off. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. P.S. Mod, please use this post if it is dup, I just could not fine the other post thanks.

I'm confused. Is there a reason you don't just stop by a dealer and ask them to get the part?

With accident repair, they can pretty well order anything on your car, though it can sometimes take a little while to arrive.

If you're looking for a mail order thing, you can order parts from Classic MINI (and ask for their 20% or so discount) through the parts dept at www.driveclassic.com

I was just looking for a cheaper alternative to the dealer network. Their prices are typically high and this is not covered by my insurance.

For oddball stuff you're kinda stuck using a dealer, no one's making replacements for rain gutters.

Try the classic discount, or check out your options for maybe using a salvage yard part.

But sometimes, dealer prices can be less then you were expecting, so its worth looking into it.

They're not mega expensive (about £30 over here), but I'm told the job is a complete bugger. I'm told the rear window has to come out.

I know this as I'm supplying an Auidi dealership with one and asked our techs how many clips it required.
