Easy fix that saved over $60 if I had to purchase a new part and much much more if the the dealer were to have fixed this. Thank you
clever idea when plastic holding the spring hook is broken. nice hack of a fix.
Is there any way to purchase just the spring? In my case the plastic is fine, it’s the shaped metal tip of the spring that sheared off somehow!? I also need the tentioner.
This happened to me as well. I broke off the end of the coil/spring while bending to make a “hook” shape.
I looked for purchasing just the spring, but could not find it. Next up was the entire cupholder apparatus, either used ($~26), URO ($~39), or OEM/genuine BMW ($60-75+). This isn’t cheap and is not actually necessary to buy anything ,though.
Much easier is what I did instead, which was taking advantage of the coil material’s rigid/”easily-snap-off-able” property to make a new (wider) hook. I pulled the snapped end of the coil out a little, then put in a thin screwdriver to kind of hold the coil out extended. Next I used flat nose pliers to hold the end flat, while using long nose pliers to break off a new gap on both sides, effectively making a new “t” end. Then of course I VERY GENTLY bent it around to make a “hook”. I gently clipped the new spring hook into the preexisting plastic hole. It works for new after reinstalling. We’ll see how it holds up!
Dealer wanted $180. Flat spring has T on end and locks into corresponding T in plastic. My plastic was broken out on one side. I merely took a bit in my dremel, and made the old T deeper in order to catch the metal end.
