The plastic bits that wiper stalks poke out

Postby Monkeyzak » 27 Apr 2017 10:13

Don't know what it's called. The 2 plastic bits that hide the wires workings at the steering wheel. I found it in the boot. There's one bolt. Trying to get the same. It's 60mm in length but I can't seem to get another that fits. Seems between an M3 and M4.

I assume you mean the steering column shroud :lol:
My car has long self tapping screws, mind you it's entirely possible that they are the "handy" work of a previous owner! :roll:
