Missing bracket

[Judley]

Afternoon guys. I’m missing the bracket from the right hand side of my boot mechanism. Does anyone know if this is a dealer part or one to find at a breakers yard?

Unfortunately you can't buy that part alone, it only comes as part of the full tray assembly

You could utilise some cable ties as a stop gap measure

Good idea Rob but I couldn’t stand looking at that long-term every time I open the boot

I wouldn’t like it either, but it’s better than leaving it with only one bracket taking the strain & only a temporary measure :?

Definitely mate. Just need to go and ferret some out now :wink:

I have no experience of anything like this, but is this something that could potentially be 3D printed? Maybe a market for someone?

I’m sure it could be. Looks like a pretty simple part to me but quite flimsy.

There's a couple for sale on Ebay... ouch! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Z4-Series-E89-Convertible-Roadster-Rear-Boot-Trunk-Lid-Trim-Panel-Cover/274150690707?fits=Car+Make%3ABMW%7CPlat_Gen%3AE89&hash=item3fd4a78f93%3Ag%3A85IAAOSwO5Vd-xJa&LH_ItemCondition=4

Try Silverlake or Synetiq both of them are breaking E89's
