Are they a standard auto parts store bit or do I have to order them from a specialist?

Digging into my door motor today, yesterday I verified 12V at the motor with no motoring.

I assume you are talking about the plastic 'snaps' that hold the door panel in place.
If so, your most likely and best prospect is the wreckers; although I suppose you might have some luck at your local auto supply store.

I have a couple of spares I bought at the dealer if you break so many that the panel will not stay in place till you can get more.

Window fixed:thumbup:

Tried to clean the old motor but it was too far gone, bought another from a local E30 parting specialist and it works great again.

After not being able to fix my running issue it feels good to have a small victory.

Thanks for the offer Bob, I'm only missing three so I'll put that on the "to order" list.
