Hardtop Lock Covers

Post by Savage » Sun May 28, 2017 5:33 pm

It seems my new (to me) E85 has had a hardtop fitted previously, and when it was removed the rubber cap/cover that fits over the hardtop "lock" on the car was lost..

Would anyone happen to know what it's actually called, or have a part number perhaps as I'd like to get some...

Hazarding a guessbid say it's item 14 in the link. I've got a set somewhere I can let you have as I don't normally take my hardtop off. PM me if you want and I'll try dig them out for you!

it is indeed that part, and I also recall the previous owner giving me a bag with some bits he didn't know where they fitted, in there I just found the two I needed - but massive thanks for the kind offer.

I also found: 542170763989.9 and 542170763990.9 (The hard top lock mechanism covers) which I understand are (or at least were) a little scarce..

Those aren't rubber caps/covers, Ranski.

I believe he means the plastic covers that fit over the hole. Which the hardtop locks slot into.
