🔒 URO Parts 65218411562 Antenna Seal, Exterior: Quality Protection for Your Antenna Review

Cannot be installed without special tools(?). I had to cut out more than half of the protrusion to insert it into the hole and glue it with superglue.

The socket is really quite hard plastic that doesn't deform easily. Therefore, it is very difficult to align the wing bore with the hub bore. I gave up.

This is not an original BMW spare part. Rubber is more like hard plastic and will not fit in the antenna hole no matter how hard you press it. I have been working on a 2001 Z3 but I suspect this part will not fit any car that uses BMW part number 65218411562.

BMW has been upgrading this hub since April 1999. This part is not suitable for Z3 models manufactured before this date. The seller advertises that this part fits all Z3. In addition, the seller does not accept returns of opened packages - this was noticed when attempting to return. I don't know how you can tell if it's right/wrong without opening the package. With their help I found the right part on bimmerworld.

Warning. It's a hard plastic bushing, not like a pliable rubber bushing that almost crumbled when I took it off. I had to shave the inner hole with a knife to increase the diameter to fit the antenna pin. It doesn't "click" and I rely on the screwed-in antenna to fill a gap in the wing frame to keep water out. I wouldn't recommend this at all for a 2000 BMW Z3. Yes it fits in a hole in the fender but it was a waste of money.
