Is this the piece that covers the sunroof motor? If so, can anyone point me to the correct clips that attach the center of the bow?
Mine is currently sitting in the floorboard, and those 4 clips are missing. I don't think any of the actual trim bow is broken, just need the 4 clips to hold it to the top.

1 more question on this, I'm not finding the trip piece above the rear window [more at the junction of the door & rear window], the passenger side cover on mine is broken & won't remain up. Looked through the various realoem diagrams & am not finding it.
Getting ready to place an order for a few parts & would probably throw this in as well.
For anyone looking for mini panel connectors, I can confirm that the white ones from this kit fit in the roof tray part that sits under the center bow of the convertible top in a 2014 Cooper S convertible.
I slid the old ones out (which did not have the black vibration 'washer' on them and replaced them with these and the panel snapped right back into place.
The kit's not as cheap as just four of the connectors from, say, ECS, but has plenty of others. I recall using some of the others when I replaced the A-pillar outside plastic trim.
Replaced this today. Tough to do, blind. No way to get visibility to the pivot bolt, that i could figure out It's almost right under the 2nd roof bow & I couldn't find a way to release the inner fabric cover without tearing it [glued the the metal bow?].
Did it along with a stubby handle driver.
Just waiting on the shifter emergency release, so I can get the intior back together.
I got the roof bow clips from ECS as well. Deferring reinstalling it to avoid having to remove it to replace the top later.
Those buggers have a fine edge, got a good slice in my finger slipping them into the slots in the trim panel.

Installed the sunroof cover trim today, snapped right in, once I got it, somewhat blindly, in the right spot. Took a bit more effort than expected to get the clips to seat.
Hoping to not need to remove it, since I'm planning on not replacing the top anymore, unless my alternate plan fails miserably.
Just have the trunk trim to reinstall, once I get the window done & water ingress is no longer an issue.
This is the kit minus the two clips and the two machine screws that go with them. The screws are easy to pick out from the bunch, they are the only ones with blue sealant on them.
This is one of the old clips.
This is the fastener looking from outside with the top halfway retracted. If you remove the center plastic piece without removing these first you will break it.
I trimmed this edge of the plastic so the moon roof portion doesn't try to push the plastic down.
Nice fit now and NOTHING moves when driving or dropping or putting up the top.
Hi, what tool did you use to get the screw in pls? I managed one but really struggling with the 2nd. Have to push the roof up with one hand to get in to place whilst trying to get the screw through the hole. I can hardly get my hand in
