Rack attachment cap?

Sup guys. New bens owner over here. Loving the car, just noticed this morning the cap on top of the car. That allows rack attachment is missing. Pic below. Where can I find a replacement piece? It’s small but something like that will bother me. Thanks in advance.

How sure about that are you? I found a video online that shows how to remove the roof rack trim.


Looks like if I pop the back side out, I can put my hand underneath. I also already went and bought this which will be here tomorrow.

My idea deal was to use a soft tool to pop it up, and slide the new lid underneath.

Just going to update this post. Just in case someone else is in need of a new roof rack lid. Previous suggestions from the other users above, were of horrible quality. You do not need to take to a dealer or replace the whole roof rack. You can buy the lids separately and install yourself with proper tool. You’ll need to get underneath the roof rack and lift up. I’ll post the link to buy the roof rack lid below. Mine cost $21. You can also buy all parts from there as well.

This is a photo after I installed the new roof rack lid. Took about 7 minutes.
