Towing electrics plastic cover screw

Hi all just lost my one and only remaining plastic screw that holds the towing electric cover on - anyone know where I can obtain a couple?

Thanks

Find them on ebay (they only cost £3 posted ) if you're a distance from a dealer.
 A common mistake made when trying to come up with a totally foolproof design is to completely underestimate the innate ingenuity of fools. :doh:

Has anyone got a parts number for the metal clip on the inside of the cover that the screw locks on to?

I've still got the screw but it doesn't lock.

Cheers
John

Before fitting the new screws, cut a 10mm flat washer in half and epoxy glue the halves into each plastic screw head and paint them black.
15 minutes job but makes undoing and refitting 100 times easier and the chances of losing them much less, did mine 5 years ago and I've still got them on. Thumbs Up

Thanks Ian.

Also

I like the idea of adding the half washers. It's awkward to get the screw head undone with a fixed tow bar.
