terrible thread title i know

but when looking down on the car i saw that there was something missing!

a little lift up flap that covers a bolt hole presumably for roof rails?

anyway - i need one

part number appreciated - front passenger side if it matters?

are they supplied coloured or have they to be sprayed to match?

if you have one spare i'll be your friend for ever (maybe not a good idea from your viewpoint )

Unfortunately these cannot be bought seperately. Seperately from the roof pannel that is.

When fitting roof Rails rather than Bars they are snapped off which is a complete PITA if you decide you no longer want the rail system.

thanks

as you say they 'snap off' because the remnants are still there - now removed

how the hell did the car 'lose' one?

anyway - if anyone has the main 'body' i'd be very grateful as i'm sure a bit of blu tak etc can sort the job

nobody have one?

ringing breakers to try and source one - could even be from a 'rolled' car

just spoken the Nick at Yeovil - nearest option is the entire 'strip' at about £90 and then it will need to be painted!

wedge a bit of black plastic in there nick...  ... - .- -.

Stan - if i can't find one i'll make one out of a bit of aluminium sheet and spray it to match

ahh , so you'll be manufacturing all sorts now for us...  ... - .- -.

You should have asked for all 4 - I'm sure you could flog them on ebay. 

Not really looked too closely at these as all 4 of mine are there but they do look very similar to those on the hardtop of the e46 3 series BMW....might be worth looking at one of those if anyone needs one.
