    looking for a cover and the box behind it that house the handle for the bowden cable

    The bowden cables are the ones on a manual soft top that loosen the tabs that keep the convertible top cover closed. The handle for that is in a rectangular housing, which has a sliding cover similar to the front door handle covers. This is behind the driver seat, on the left hand side. I need both the box, and the cover. If anyone has the part numbers and/or dimensions for those items, I also have access to a 3d printer that could machine those in case those parts are not available. Thanks in advance.

    I believe it is the same part as the door handle. This diagram should help you figure out exactly what parts you need. https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=41_0805
