That’s it! Thank you so much! I’ve already found a couple for sale online. Appreciate your help.

This group has been so helpful when I’ve been unable to track down info. Hoping for some help once again. There is an opening behind each seat under the bar behind the headrest (see photos). I have searched the web and I even bought a Z3 parts and repair guide. I have yet to identify it. If I...

Thanks for the reply! That is the one I'm looking for, but I'm in the US. I am hoping to find one on this side of "the pond" but if I don't find one, I may need to go global. :)
