Default Some kind of a clip

Yesterday I noticed that on the passenger side, towards the rear, the material of the top wasn't being held taunt any longer and instead, there is a black cord showing with what appears to be some sort of clip that I think must have broken off of something. I know that's not alot of info to go on but now the fabric there is a bit cinched up looking. Is this something I should be able to buy at a dealer or do I need to order it and if so, does anyone have a better name for it?

There is a "cord kit" (what I always called it) that comes with a guide that one of the cords goes though. This guide piece snaps apart, should be part number 1Y0 871 341 B. You will also need some pop rivets as well, 1Y0 871 996 A and maybe 1Y0 871 996 B but I can't remember how many of each off the top of my head, been several months since I've done this.

Thank you Pencilneck! I felt certain someone could help ) It's still on warranty so I'm going to take it in Saturday morning. They "believe" they have what I need - I sure hope so. It doesn't appear to be doing any damage & the top still goes up & down just fine but I'd still like it fixed. Thanks again and happy buggin'
