E36 coupe rear vent windows. There are two nut/sealing washers that hold the rear vent glass in from the front. The bolt side is on the vent glass, you attach the nut through a hole in the b-pillar to the glass. I went to my dealer, but he couldn't find the part... I only have the TIS. They need a part number...

It's the part that the arrows are pointing to:

Yes, I dropped a nut down there. If anyone has the ETK, can you throw it up on my server too ;)

Much much MUCH appreciated.

You've gotta be kidding me. They couldn't find it or they didn't bother to look.

Anyway, assuming 95 coupe M3 w/ Electric Vent windows. #14 - Nut 51 36 8 144 980

Tell them to look at "Diagrams 51_2060 VENT WINDOW"
It's under Group 51 Vehicle Trim - 3rd choice "Vent Window"

Thanks very much for looking, but that's the one I previously ordered. Its the wrong thing. That nut goes on the rear of the window (near the latch).

Now... for the other nut... it's either a M5 or M6 nut... w/ a washer on it... any clue? It doesn't show up in the same diagram that shows the vent window assembly. Perhaps the b-pillar diagram?

Again, thanks for looking.
