W211 roof bar fixing point covers

[leeosborne]

Hi, new to the forum & MB ownership.

I've just bought a 2006 E320 sport and a set of roof bars to carry my bike around. When I took the bars off last time I must have knocked the cover that flicks back over the fixing points and it has come adrift. I've managed to retrieve the little black bracket that is, or should be, fixed in place inside the roof and I can see how it should re-seat, etc. but can anyone help and tell me how to put it all back together & in place

When mine went they replaced the whole "strip" It was under warranty so I didn't question it - don't know if they could have replaced just the little cover. Knowing MB........

I was kind of thinking that it wouldn't be a simple fix. One of the fixings is still in place, I suppose I could just put some chewing gum in the other side
