Plastic Part Broken on soft top mech

Hi, hopefully someone can help :D

On the soft top folding mechanism there is a thin plastic panel (one each side) about 100mm x 40mm that runs off a cam one end and fixed swivel on the over, it looks like it stops the material getting trapped in the mech when the roof is closed.

Any idea where I could find out if I'm correct, is there a diagram available? :thumbsup: the part no looks like 13073-004 but can't reference it anywhere
 
I have a feeling that face lift cars don't have this. You might find that is been discontinued for that reason as the roof design didn't actually change.
 
If it's the part I think you mean, I am missing one from one side of the roof and BMW said you can't get the piece separately.
 
You probably mean the anti trapping plates

According to ETK not available anymore.
maybe it's still available online.
It was also issued on facelift cars according to ETK
 
That part is not on my car, and as srhutch says the roof design did not change. I remember one broke on my first (prefacelift) Z and it had no negative impact on roof operation.
