This car tends to lose four little covers from its roof. The covers conceal bolts that are inside a channel on the roof; there are four of these covers and they are only about 2 inches by 4 inches. They are plastic, but painted the colour of the car. The original set popped off one day not that long after we got the car - in the first three years, perhaps, just while driving. And about a year ago, two of the replacement set popped off. Of course they are impossible to find, so one has to go and get new ones, which - if one is fussy - have to be painted to match the car. I imagine the covers are meant to keep rain and debris out, but the channels seem able to drain since there is no water sloshing noise from the months they have been open.
