Your status changed to indicate you left port, right? Mine still says Arrived in German Port (TYD) and Invoiced (last result before Left Port on PVMS).
But you are right...could easily be status lag. If I assume I missed it, then I create the opportunity to be pleasantly surprised.

Glad you recovered yours, TX.
As I had an early car, I warned everyone about this. These are impossible to replace and they can very easily disappear. Parts department shows no part for these, so I imagine they come with the top assembly only until an aftermarket solution is available. I believe someone on here volunteered to fabricate these when I first mentioned the issue.
These pesky little plastic caps can be easily bonded using an appropriate epoxy adhesive. I recommend everyone prepare to do this at first sight of his car. Nothing crazy like high temperature stuff is needed. I used this one from Home Depot, which is rated up to 250 degrees F — worked like a charm:

Almost ready to be released into the wild.
Full wrap, 10mil A pillar forward, standard rest.
Left factory protection in place, so double protected in those areas.
With the drive down from Plano, about halfway to run-in complete.

Yes.
- auto-dimming mirrors
- voice control (it’s free)
- light design package (interior is pretty dark at night time without it)

Hey 348SStb, any reason for the preference of this one over the black one?

Thanks in advance.

You’re welcome. Not at all, it’s just that Home Depot here stateside carries the tan; it seems the black is another color variant of the same exact stuff.

Didn't realize there was "factory protection". Details on that/where those are supposed to be?
