Wanted Screw cover

[Ianmc]

As per photo, giving the car a "deep clean" this morning. Noticed one cover cap missing. No real drama as you can't see it with wind break/tonneau in place. Number on adjacent cap is 8400250 but this doesn't work with parts search. Anyone have a spare please for a couple of beers and postage?

Cheers, Ian

Hi Carl
Its the nearside one missing. Didn't realise middle one is longer (that's the part number I mentioned (8400250). Maybe the part number is different?

I’ve got a feeling those things are an outrageous price for what they are at the main dealer. Contrary to common belief that’s actually relatively unusual.

I could do, but it's a messy job so I'll take it around @gookah's tomorrow.

It was actually broken anyway and always been loose which was the reason it went up the hoover so I could do with a replacement.

Caps received this morning, many thanks @Carl Brown.
For completeness (if somewhat anal), the three caps are all different. The nearside one (missing in the picture above) is 8400257, the centre one is 8400250 and the off side one 8400258. These numbers are on the underside of the caps. The differences are the angle on the bottom (flat) side of the cap to fit with the surround it sits in. If anyone needs an offside cap (8400258), happy to forward on the one Carl sent me.
