These seem to vanish from time to time, I cannot help thinking that if your car boasts good black shiny ones, they have a habit of getting acquired by other folks either for just simply damn annoyance or envy.
My Astra fell victim to this type of thing on 2 occasions. I took a look around the yards to find replacements, & guess what ? None to be found - all gone. So this needed to be rectified as the gaps left by such covers are quite substantial. Out came the black Duck Tape, and covered the whole roof rail on both sides, neat and tidy job works as good today as the day I fitted it almost 12 months ago. Id love to find the individuals who steal these at it, there would be some form of punishment engaged to prevent them repeating such annoyances.

Back to the victim - Simply send me a PM, and I will happily supply one for you at the postage cost. This has been sourced from scrapped vehicle (Not from the supermarket car park spares market)

These are the ones you need from halfords

A bit flatter than the originals so you may want to change all four if you like them to match.

If you pressure wash your car it's very easy to lose those plugs and not even see them go.---
