Where can I order the door lock cover thing?

ronnieshih · 03-25-2008, 12:11 PM

I've seen someone with a cover for the key hole on the driver side door latch. Where can I order this? thanks. I assume these are color specific? Does it just go right over the section with the key hole?

If you are looking for a complete cover try www.Bimmian.com. If you want just the small plug for the metal key area try www.BumperPlugs.com.

Wow, $70 including shipping for this one little plastic piece!

Anyone got a line on a used one for me?

Kid Eh · 08-18-2014, 04:14 PM

Wow wanting to cover up that little hole is pretty anal. No pun intended.

What happens if your battery dies with one of those?

You are screwed

It replaces the stock cover with the hole for key - lock cylinder needs to be removed first - there is a torx bolt holding it in from behind the inside door jamb.

If battery dead - only way to get it off from outside is to bust/pry it off - which is more than likely what a thief would simply do if they wanted acces to key lock to break in...

Climb in from the trunk

Taran.J · 08-18-2014, 08:22 PM

My cars black so I put a piece of gloss black vinyl cut to it's size in there. Now it's "deleted" and when I need it I can just peel off the vinyl.

hockeyplayer · 08-19-2014, 08:35 AM

Yeah I was wondering about the battery dying issue & getting into the car also, but the only stock pieces I can find (with the keyhole cutout) are primer and not painted to match.

Like someone else said you could always go in through the trunk i guess.

Which would work if you have a key hole in your trunk + fold down seats - but not all years have the trunk key & not all have fold down seats...

It definitely is but right now my lock is completely exposed to the elements and I don't want any rain getting in there.

Man, mine is already rusted from the previous owner. No idea what she did to it especially since the car only had 20,xxx miles when I bought it.

I don't think I can be able to fix it anyways, unless I replace the whole damn thing which I don't plan on doing.

hockeyplayer · 08-19-2014, 09:49 AM

Yeah I just called the STEALership and they want $36 for the part (primer), $95 to paint it and $13 to ship it to me.

I DON'T THINK SO

JaysBlueE92 · 08-19-2014, 11:15 AM

lol this thread is from 2008. It's not a plastic piece its actually a new assembly that you replace the existing one with. Looks much cleaner for those who show the car. Little details guys..little details

Yes the original one that i broke is plastic…just looking for a replacement without getting raped by the dealer.

jamesfawcett · 12-29-2019, 02:30 AM

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but there’s not much info on this - I can confirm you can use a rear door lock blank to replace the front door lock. I’ve replaced mine now and routed an external charge plug to underneath the car from the battery Incase my battery is ever flat. Really easy to fit, takes 5 mins.
