How does one check their nuts? Instructions not clear.

Oh geez. I checked mine and there are no nuts.

They are M6 x 1.0 thread.

I assume so. When looking in there it's not clear that's what holds the plastic trim on.

I think there are spots for mounting the crossbars (or whatever they're called), down the sides of the bed along the sails, too. These look like they'd be for that.

Luckily, I still have my nuts ...

Per the Service Manual, the Sail Appliqué is affixed only by 9 clips and tape:

Your sail plastic piece flew off?

YES!

 

[GMONEYPEPE]

Apparently others are experiencing it too -

 

[Gurule92]

YES!

Dang! were you able to locate it? Judging by your title, probably not. Hopefully its a cheap part.

I can’t remember what I was reading or watching, but I feel like it was the service manual. Those clips look liked they were on tight because they were using an airbag expander to pop off that trim piece. I wonder what the point of failure is.
