Is this the piece that covers the sunroof motor? If so, can anyone point me to the correct clips that attach the center of the bow?
Mine is currently sitting in the floorboard, and those 4 clips are missing. I don't think any of the actual trim bow is broken, just need the 4 clips to hold it to the top.

 

Yes,

Clips are on the edge and comes with it

Hardware is in one of those box kits or install kits

You have to show me the hardware and match it up.

 

I'm missing these 4 clips, and possibly the foam [?] overlay

 

Those are on the front page of this thread

Nothing on the foam, it only with the new part.

 

Thanks ECS, will be ordering a few, and likely a few other bits in the near future. Once I get the top repaired & get it on the road.

 

Ok you are welcome!

 

@ECSTuning
1 more question on this, I'm not finding the trip piece above the rear window [more at the junction of the door & rear window], the passenger side cover on mine is broken & won't remain up. Looked through the various realoem diagrams & am not finding it.
Getting ready to place an order for a few parts & would probably throw this in as well.

Sorry for the poor photo:

 

Think I found it?

For anyone looking for mini panel connectors, I can confirm that the white ones from this kit fit in the roof tray part that sits under the center bow of the convertible top in a 2014 Cooper S convertible.


I slid the old ones out (which did not have the black vibration 'washer' on them and replaced them with these and the panel snapped right back into place.

The kit's not as cheap as just four of the connectors from, say, ECS, but has plenty of others. I recall using some of the others when I replaced the A-pillar outside plastic trim.

 

Replaced this today. Tough to do, blind. No way to get visibility to the pivot bolt, that i could figure out It's almost right under the 2nd roof bow & I couldn't find a way to release the inner fabric cover without tearing it [glued the the metal bow?].
Did it along with a stubby handle driver.
Just waiting on the shifter emergency release, so I can get the intior back together.

 

I got this kit and it worked fine for my running boards, fender skirts and several other items as well

Not sure why but the Amazon link isn't working correctly. Just search for OAUTOO 130pcs Auto Body.

 

I got the roof bow clips from ECS as well. Deferring reinstalling it to avoid having to remove it to replace the top later.
Those buggers have a fine edge, got a good slice in my finger slipping them into the slots in the trim panel.
