Default XK8 Convertible - Manual Release with Hex Key

Greetings:
There is a 'Plastic Button' that covers the access hole for the Hex Key.
I have lost the Button....

Does anyone know actually what this Button is called and where I might be able to source one...?

Alan, I couldn't find the name, but I bet you can find or fashion a replacement.

Problem will be color. I was about to attach the color combinations document when I realized that's ineffective. You'll be spending way too much time hunting down some rare color like Antelope. . . With no luck.

Here's the shortcut. Just take a piece of the same color to home depot. They can match the color for a few bucks!

Example: when I had to touch up the steering wheel, I pulled the triangular vent from top left of dash. Same color. Worked great!

I forget if the blank plug you referenced is same color as seats or as the secondary accent color. But its just a 1cm flat plastic plug right?
