When mine broke I found you had to buy the whole bar so I simply drilled ans screwed mine back together. Did both sides while I was at it.

Thanks Ivor. This is a great tip, and I've just done the exact same to my own Z4 and it works a treat. Very clean result! |

I am wondering about this too, my 2009 model does not have the net yet the other day I saw a 2012 model which has this net attached to the divider. I tried to see if I can find it on realoem but when I put my VIN it does not show any nets, so I assume this only came on later cars? does anyone know?

For you guys in the states,
you can try to order it from Treatstock.com Maybe there is a cheaper option to get it printed directly in the states? https://de.treatstock.com/product/1l...nk-loading-aid

Or print them yourself...
I created an alternative hinge design which looks very close to stock.
If you would like to just purchase the hinges, they are available on Treatstock (internationally): https://www.treatstock.com/3d-printa...rtition-hinges If you would like to purchase the 3D model and print the hinges yourself (or have them made from metal/other materials), it is available on Cults3D: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/vari...artition-hinge Pictures: Thanks, Rob Last edited by mopedmaster; 04-07-2022 at 11:05 AM..

Thanks to this post I managed a similar fix with a few M4 bolts and a bit of Loctite. This part broke for me as I was looking at the car to purchase. I didn't realize it at the time but even though I could put the cargo cover in place it didn't hold proper position and the top was very erratic in operating.... sometimes it just refused, red light blinking and the trunk wouldn't open. I had to fish for the trunk pull several times. Almost thought I had bought a real problem case, then I made the connection to this part and did the fix last night. The cover now drops into place and latches solidly and the top and trunk are working fine. I appreciate what BMW is trying to do here, but my god it's a bit overkill on the sensors.
I didn't notice that anyone else was having top operating issues though in their descriptions, or perhaps that was just a given? Regardless, thanks for the info here, even if it is an old thread. |

3D printed fix
Hello folks.
I recently bought a 2013, and the PO had "fixed" the broken bracket with three zip ties. Those have all died now, and the right side is loose. I specifically did not want to recreate an overdesigned failure. Only create a simple solution that does a good job replicating the aesthetic of the original. So about 20 minutes in Tinkercad and bada boom, bada bing. Designed to work with Zip Ties or bolts/washers. If using zip ties, I'd suggest a cross pattern approach. When my installation is complete, I'll post pictures and a link to the free download on Tinkercad. George |

Clamp it, Jed!
Second time was the charm. I added an alignment notch to the far side for ease of assembly. Holes are 5mm.
And the link I promised: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6542849 I'm very pleased with the function and aesthetic. Fun little design project. This is the test fitting. I'll have the bolts painted black before final assembly. George |

What about Rob's solution? https://e89.zpost.com/forums/showpos...7&postcount=32 U could purchase the file and get it printed by a 3D print service provider. By the way, I've printed mine with transparent ABS and integrated a bigger LED that got connected to the trunk light: https://www.zroadster.com/forum/thre...3/post-3641544
