Part availability

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Part availability

Post by raynoon » Tue Mar 01, 2016 9:15 pm

Does anybody know if part number 6987 71 (mul) closer is available from citroen or any other source?

It's the trim clip holder but can't find any on eBay. Also, what does (mul) mean?

still available but i believe they are now superceeded by a part that is black in colour with the part number 0000884790.
I got some back in the spring and i dont remember them being extortionate but i would imagine not exactly a bargain either.

Called Citroen today, they initially said the part wasn't available. Then they tried "another web-site they use" and ordered them in for overnight delivery. They are only available in packs of 20... But at 12p +VAT each I couldn't really complain ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

Thanks again Dean.

I wonder if the site was Citroen service by any chance :roll:

Pop-in receptacle for trim-securing plastic 'plug'.
A largish plastic rawlplug would do the job, if pushed.
