Hi
Wondering if there is a fix to repair the plastic, spring retaining lugs that are on the small flaps that cover the soft top mechanism. These are the flaps on each side of the car beside the rear seat backs.
The lower lug on one of mine has snapped off, so the spring cannot be tensioned to hold the flap shut.
Hope that is clear!!
Thanks.

Don't think they're really fixable...just buy new ones...there's some guys in Canada who make copies but stronger...supposed to be good...and probably cheaper than oem.

Thanks for the tip.
Looks like these guys? Great replacement part, and even with fitting instructions. 3D printing is amazing!! However, looks like pretty fiddly to install .....hate messing about with trim panels.

If shipped from Canada it is about $150 Canadian

From BMW: 126 euros each side...so the Canadian ones look good if that's for a pair delivered?

Probably import duty and handling charge from couriers as well.
