Default Convertible Cover Tubes and Plugs

I just noticed I am missing all 6 plugs and 2 of the 3 plastic tubes that hold my cover under the boot lid.

Is there another source for these??

Jaguar Part#s
CBC7363 Plug
HJA7845DA Plastic Tube

I am sure I can find a plastic tube the same size....but I've never seen the plugs before.

This :
Bic Cristal Medium Ball Pen - Black (Pack of 10): Amazon.co.uk: Office Products Bic Cristal Medium Ball Pen - Black (Pack of 10): Amazon.co.uk: Office Products
and five minutes with a small hacksaw will yield 10 plugs, as many tubes as you want, and a fair amount of writing in the meantime !!

Leaper Man,
Ok, I know what the tubes are for, but what am I missing with the plugs? What are they for?

You stuff them in the ends of the tubes. Supposed to keep the tubes from falling out. But they fall out of the tubes. Then the tubes fall out of the cover. Then you have to buy some more.

You can easily accomplish the same goal with a quarter-inch or three-eighths-inch wooden dowel. Cut it into sufficient lengths, dip the three segments into a can of waterproofing treatment such as Minwax Spar Polyurethane, let them dry, insert them into the loops using a bit of epoxy to hold them in place, allow the epoxy to cure, and you're good to go. If you already have the dowel, the polyurethane, and the epoxy sitting on your garage shelves, your fix is essentially free....

Default substitute "dowel" for boot cover

I lost one tube, or perhaps it was missing when I purchased the car, but my simple solution was to cut a length from a pencil. The fit is snug enough that I have not lost the replacement, even though it has no plugs on its ends.
