What are the items in the following pic for? In the process of installing them in my coupe. More pics later today.

Is it some kind of touring sunshade hook?Kaz said:Has nothing to do with the mirror in my car.![]()
I could've measured the ones in the X5 for you...Hardest part of this mod was deciding where to place the straps.
All models I checked use the same strap. The 24.25 came from my ti.scottn2retro said:Are there different length straps (for different model vehicles)? I was wondering how you determined the 24.25 inch distance between holes (or is that what the 318ti had?).
I do the same in my X and everything stays exactly where I placed it even during very hard cornering.Kaz said:One tip I have on its use (or mod if your car doesn't have em already).
The rubber straps, at least for me, seem to pop out really easily from those hold-downs. If you haven't put em in yet, I would suggest separating the ends by another inch or so over the stock distance. What I do is criss-cross the straps (mine has 2) in a X so they're stretched out a little more, that way they don't go popping off at the suggestion of putting anything on top of em.
