Missing dash switch covers
Does anybody know where I can get covers for the auto and rear defroster switchs. mine fell off and are missing, searched everywhere no luck. Called the Dealer and you have to buy the complete kit at over $300.00???? Any help would be apprieciated. X5 is a 2005 4.4.

I would try a junk yard/wrecker. You might have to go to one and get it yourself.

I'm almost positive I've seen a post where someone had a link to a company that made replacement buttons. I would search (maybe even go out to google) other names of buttons on the dash and add "replacement" or something like that. There is a company out there.

Agree with you, especially if you need just two of them. You'll get new parts in lesser cost !! Thanks Helmuth for the site as you never know....
