Evening all. I got my car back from the paint shop and noted that one of the roof rack clips was not seated correctly. I pressed it gently and it fell into the void in the roof. Does anyone have one of these spare? Do they have to be painted body colour? How are they supposed to work?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The roof rack clip/door pieces are very robust (and specific to each corner - i.e. they are contoured to the rail shape) - its the plastic clips they seat into that are the weak link. You can wedge a bit of material in so that the covers sit nicely, but new less brittle clips are the actual solution.
Thanks @demon . I found this thread on Rennlist: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/498960-roof-flap-hinge.html It has part numbers.
