Roof Rails Replacement Part

When I bought some roof rails, the flaps for the screws to not scratch the paint had been broken off. So I threw this quick redesign together. It's mostly a replica with slight adjustments for better printing. DO NOT USE PLA, PETG, OR ABS You should consider a high-quality, very weather and outdoor-resistant filament. I used CPE CF112. Alternatives may include PA CF12 or PP. Print slow. Low to no fan. The chamber should be at least 40°C for best layer adhesion. Works best with 100% infill. Sadly I could not find the specific part number for this, I've heard a simple washer should do just as well. However, I'd like to keep it as original as possible with this, as it also helps with alignment. Use exterior-rated material and verify secure retention, sealing and adjacent-panel clearance.
