Default 850 Cargo Cover Fixing Brackets

I've finally repaired my cargo cover but I need to re-fix the brackets inside the rear compartment. Are there special fixings for these, and, if so, where can I get them from? Alternatively, what's the best way to DIY fix them?
Thanks
Dave

Not sure if I'm missing something from your pictures but it looks like you have everything to fit the cargo cover

The two pins/dowels on each side of the cargo cover rail should fit into the locating holes on the window trim as per your picture

The end caps of the cargo cover where the pins/dowels are fitted push inwards towards the centre to make it shorter therefore allowing it to fit into the gap. It can be a little bit fiddly getting the holes to align properly but with a bit of practise you should get the hang of it

Thanks
The bracket which is loose, locates onto the holes in the trim but should be secured by some form of clip. The one on the other side has the remains of one clip but the other is missing. As I understand it, these should remain secure in the side trim and not rely on the cover assembly for stability. I think?

There are no clips, the pressure on the end caps that press in hold the entire load cover in place

Both end caps are/should be spring loaded. Both end caps should have two pins/dowels fitted

Both spring loaded end caps push inwards towards the centre approximately 10mm



The pins/dowels should have rubber caps fitted to stop them rattling when fitted in the window trim locating holes, the rubber caps make for a tight fit when putting the load cover on or removing it

Aah
It's the rubber end caps I'm missing. I'll have to see what I can find as replacements.
Thanks for the advice.

Just a note to say the Main Stealers still stock these. I spent years trying to keep mine going and looking good and I was relieved to find I could get a new one.
