If you can find the part number you could search on eBay.

You can get the part numbers from here....

The roof will use the same parts for all the e85 roadsters.

If there's nothing on eBay check on the for sale threads on the forum or you could try a breakers.

Is that the part number in the pic?

Coincidentally when I bought my car almost 4 years ago the same piece on the drivers side was missing/broken and I've never replaced it and never had any hood trapping issues whatsoever

It’s put on because the car is built in the US. where they are super safety conscious.
It’s to stop children getting their fingers trapped in the roof as it closes.

What side is this off ? Passenger or Drivers side ?
