Hi guys. The clips that hold on my luggage compartment ( ie the plastic clips that attach the parcel shelf to the metal bar) have broken. I am not sure what this compartment is called . The thing you pull down to allow the roof to be lowered. Im sure you guys will know what its called. Anyway one clip was broken and now the other is broken, so I wondered if you guys knew if the clips can be bought anywhere? . When i inquired at bmw some time ago i was told that they could not and the whole assembly had to be replaced. Any ideas would be appreciated as i am sure it will be pretty expensive to replace the whole assembly.

cheers

Mine broke a little while ago....are the clips completely broken?
I think you're correct re whole assembly. :x

I drilled out and replaced the screws with M8 nuts and bolts sprayed black. Perfect. :thumbsup:
 
Yes a poor design.
As you lower the protector you have to be careful not to pull it out with too much force as it puts as strain on the plastic.
 
yes when i bought the car one of the clips was broken though i hadnt noticed at the tim and part of the clip was missing, now the other one is completely broken too. I think i could fix the one as you did but not sure what ill do with the other one completely missing.
