Factory Mounting Point Cover

I need some advice, yesterday as I was taking my bike rack off the roof of my 1er I somehow manged to snap off the small door that covers one of the factory mounting points. Does anyone know if this is easily replaceable or really what my options are for making this look less ridiculous? I do not think the door keeps water out or anything out I believe it just smooths out the roof line when the mounting points are not in use.

Thanks.

Jeeze are they that brittle? I just ordered the OEM roof rack too and now I'm having 2nd thoughts. Maybe I should get a trunk mount rack.

I don't think they are that brittle, but they are just small plastic pieces held on by even smaller plastic tabs. I would imagine I caught it just right and it just snapped. The roof rack is the way to go though, I had a trunk rack on my old car and no matter what you do your paint will get destroyed. With the roof mounting points you get the best of all worlds.
