I stole one off an old sports bag, then used pliers to gently squeeze the rear end to get it to work. Once it was sized it worked great.

Had the same problem. Cut zips of bags and various things, all to no avail. Tried crimping a couple of zips but they all broke during refitting the screen. Ended up knackering the screen zip thread and had to have a new screen :mad:

Advise buying a BMW screen zip from Gernany or getting a pro to do it.
