Installation help on the E-Brake M-Performance boot
Hi all,
I purchased the M Performance Parking Brake Handle (BMW Part #: 34402222540). Looks great, but I am having some trouble installing it into my 430xi. From the pics below, you can see that the bottom part fits in nicely, but I am having trouble getting the top clips in place. I am scared to force the top clips in place for fear of breaking something. Any ideas? WD-40? |

you are supposed to clip those in first during installation, then install the lower portion

Hi e90Nate.
I tried that, but the bottom portion doesn't have enough room to fit into the slot. It looks like it is supposed to slide into the groove, but when I install the back section first, and then the front, there is still some fabric showing on the front. |
