Does anyone know where can I get a replacement for the retaining screw cover?

For PD
Ask a dealer or find a damaged PD series unit in a wrecking yard and hopefully get them cheap that way.

Snapped them? Don't be surprised if you can not. The FD SERIES ones break easily. And you have to buy a complete taillight.Yea snapped one of them off.

My god, didn't know they don't sell that standalone.
Hopefully the FD ones will fit the PD, gonna check out the wreckers then.

I had an idea. :idea:
Carefully fill it with matching dark silicone and smooth it off with a "Stanley knife" blade. (if you can't easily get a replacement)
Would be easy enough to scoop the silicone out in the unlikely event you need to remove them again. :cool:

No, I never suggested they'd fit. I'm using my car as an example that they are not available. By all means check or find a PD i30 if you can with a damaged rear assembly but intact covers.Snapped them? Don't be surprised if you can not. The FD SERIES ones break easily.

Unfortunately, the i30 is still pretty much a new model (early 2018) here in SG thus finding spares might be tough.
