Illuminated Door Sills

louielouie · 01-03-2019, 11:18 PM

I purchased a used set of illuminated door sills for my F32, and noticed one of the magnets was broken in half. This is affecting how the LED triggers so considering it's just another neodymium magnet, I figured I can just purchase a replacement online.

The sizing is 10mm x 2mm, but I'm unsure what grade of magnet it is (N35/N50 etc). Does anyone have an idea?

UPDATE

N35 is not strong enough. Pending testing of N50.

Are there spare magnets? I would return it for a refund or replacement at the dealer. Since you brought it used maybe return it to the seller.

No spares. I bought this used from another member. Can I still claim replacement from dealer?

Sorry I edited the comment after I re read your post. Contact the seller about the magnet.
