help - small flap over convertible arms next to trunk flaps up...
the small rectangular flap (2" x 6") between the trunk and the interior that covers the arms that move the roof up and down does not stay it place. it's got a small metal rod through it and spring loaded. it is held in place by a plastic piece that has a rod on the front and 3 loops that hold the metal rod on the cover in place. these three plastic loops have back part of them broke off so it no longer holds it down in place and is free to move up. short of rigging something that would work, i'll need that new plastic base piece that looks like everything else is attached to. anybody have this same problem or can guide me to where i could find a part # to see what going to be involved to get it fixed? thanks.

Don't know if you fixed it or not, but my passenger side spring came out of the hole for some reason. Checked the driver side to see what I needed to do and I fixed it while fueling the car at Wawa. Easiest fix ever!
