Anyone have a hook up for the pillar interior bits? front pillar, b pillar and c are all losing the fabric in the wife's 330i. She'd LOVE if I could find new ones. I'm just not interested in paying retarded prices for them.

the grey interior color.

EDIT: goofed on the title. I work with CAD and had capslock on... whoops

Hahahahaha, yeah, I want an app that recognizes when I'm clicking outside of my CAD programs and turns Caps Lock off.

A local upholstery house quoted me about $150 to recover all 6 on my E46. I didn't get it done yet, but I probably will.

This is a pretty easy DIY. I just did the A-pillars, took a little over an hour. The 3M spray adhesive is $11 on Amazon. If you carefully pull up the old fabric, spray the adhesive on BOTH the fabric and the plastic, then VERY PATIENTLY stretch the fabric back into place it works like a charm. Use medium size binder clips around the edges to hold the fabric in place until the adhesive dries. Honestly, the worst part is removing the 3-4 screws holding the cover in place. They're tight the whole way in/out, and the angle makes it painful!

^This. I've repaired a couple of sets with spray adhesive. Pretty easy job if you're not "retarded"
