2019 F34 Driver Door Pull Handle/Cup Reattach?
Just had my 2019 F34 wrapped (Black -> Tanzanite Blue). The wrap came out great, but the wrap guys pried off the driver door panel black plastic cup with door pull assembly. They tried to glue it back with black weatherstrip adhesive, but it didn't hold.
It appears that on this model the cup/pull assembly is an integral part of the inner door panel, and it is held on with factory-made melted plastic "mushrooms" from the inner side of the door panel. Unlike other models, there are no clips or screws involved, the holding stems get melted from the inside of the panel during build and it's a one-shot deal. I would like to reattach the cup/pull assembly, and since I am at this point already, it would be nice to preserve the ability to pry this cup out in the future, while having it held securely now. The current stems don't reach all the way through the existing door panel mounting holes since the melted plastic buttons are gone. I would prefer not to pull the whole door panel off for this repair. Of course I could just put some gobs of epoxy putty on each of the holding stems and call it a day... I have cleaned off all of the weatherstrip adhesive from the mounting stems in the pictures below

BMW part 51417279341
Part #4 Available for under $100. It's held on by 07147270744 Fillister head screw TS4X10 ISA Part #13 You could see if can be held on by just the screws to begin with. A local BMW Dealer either has the screws or can order most likely for less than $1 each The wrap installers should pay for it and deal with it. |

That's really helpful!
1) Where did you find this parts diagram? I need the cup/pull assembly for the driver's door (opposite side to your posted diagram) 2) Was hoping to not have to remove inside panel, but the screw/washer repair you suggest is certainly a good solution, though! Edit: Found online diagram you posted at RealOEM.com

OP: Went back to wrap guys, removed door panel, original part was sufficient to attach with screws/washers from behind.
Thx.
