In Reply to: Little plastic cap on the end of the door latch... posted by sb on June 25, 2001 at 15:50:24:

Part number is #51 21 1 809 735. Any BMW dealer should be able to get them for you. If you can't get them, we stock them all the time. O==00==O

My driver's side door has a tough time locking and shutting properly. I read somewhere that...

"The little plastic cap on the end of the door latch (on the door) is what makes the door close easily."

I doubt that BMW manufacters these plastic pieces anymore. Does anyone have recommendations on how to modify this? Will any rubber or plastic cap do? If so, what did you use to fix the problem?
Thanks in advance!
