E89 trim cover for retractable hardtop

[Judley]

Looking for the missing bracket if anyone happens to have one spare or alternatively the whole assembly if cheap enough.

 

[Maniac]

These are easily repaired if you still have the original two halves of the bracket.

Unfortunately I don’t mate.

I’d put cable ties through those holes and around the tube, better than nothing & reduces the strain on the remaining bracket

Good suggestion.
I'd also consider maybe washers to stop the cable ties pulling into the material?
Or something to spread the contact area.

Just a random thought, but something like the side cut out of a plastic milk bottle, long enough to fold round the bar, holes top and bottom, then cable ties round the lot. Bit Heath Robinson, but a strong enough repair until you can fix it properly.

Even better, I’m not aviation level trained - merely Heath Robinson railway training

Rob, I'm sure Pbondar would shudder at the thought of me bodging an aircraft that way. Definitely not in accordance with EASA!
Though you'd be a little surprised at some of the 'adaptations' we signed off for 'one flight only' back in 90/91 when old Saddam was being a pesky nuisance :roll:
