What is this and where do I get a new one?

[Jendy]

G'day everyone,

love the forum, so useful and fun!

Anyways, first time posting - I got my 2011 D40 (love it) about 2 months ago and when I purchased it the cover (I'm assuming) at the rear on the roof drivers (see photo) was missing. For the life of me I can't figure out what they are for and where I go/what do I ask for to get a new/replacement one!?!

Any help here would be awesome!

Thanks

WTF???
What is that for and why is it there

wtf

Not sure if this is correct, but the strip running down the roof is removed or loosened when a windscreen is replaced. When removed by a butcher who doesn't know what he's doing, they sometimes don't fit back in properly, and tend to pop out again. I lost mine in a car wash after windscreen replacement and it totally munted them. (different sort of vehicle). Yours looks like they have had screws fitted to stop them popping out again.
I could be totally off track here but it is possible.

I got nothing.

Its on the back of the roof. I've got one on the other side. Those white bits you can see just seem to be little plastic circles (clips?) that are pot riveted on there.... Might have to go to my local Nissan dealer to see if they can help. All they seem to be is a cover of some description...

I think you'll find that is where the factory roof rails (like the European and some 550's have) bolt in.

Its just a trim piece to finish off the gutter. Nothing bolts in there and any dealer or wrecker would be able to find one for you

Thanks everyone. I'll try and find a replacement when I get the chance.

Cheers
