Description

This is to replace the latch on the dust cover for the BMW e83 headlights, clean off the old latch pieces and just slide this in. Dust cover part number 1305239123 It holds nicely even if not glued. If you prefer, you can also glue it to the dust cover, it will however make it difficult to open the cover when you need to change the bulbs. Use support blocker to change the bottom 3mm or the protruding part to have 80-100% infill. I will not ask for money like others do. Have it, it's free. I will not be responsible if your car/house/hair/eyes/baby catches fire or are stolen, you print and use this at your own peril.
