I found two of these loose under the seats of my Spider. Are they part of the car? Where do they go?

Thanks,

Aren't those the end caps that cover the screws that hold down the convertible top hand strap located in the center of the front bow?

Good guess!

That is exactly what they are. Good call!

Do you want to sell them?

 

[David O'D]

No, Andylarry, but thanks for the offer. When I wrote the original post, I had the thought of adding, 'Might they be worth $700?' as a joke.

My top will stay down till winter, when my wife will refuse to ride in the car any more . . . . And then I'll check the fit.

Thanks, everyone!

I did see an Alfa supply house that does sell them,

I think the one in England

If you could remember which one I'd be pleased to know, as I can't find them anywhere.

Awesome, I found the same thing a few days ago and thought it went to the GTI so I tossed it into the "what's this" box. Just checked and Ed's right.

Now if I could just find the other one.

You should be able to check the fit of those strap handle end caps whether the top is up or down, as the handle is accessible in either position.

Thanks for the reply. I had a quick look but can't see them there. Maybe sold out.

i have not seen just the plastic end clips, tbh
but you can get the whole strap, sometimes the end bits come with it.....sometimes not.

Hi Norseman50, your right, I just have to unsnap the boot.
