Need help to identify this C5 part
It's one of those odd (to me) covers that are located in the ceiling of the car, it looks like you'd be able to hook something into it or whatever - I don't know really what they are for. There are four in total.
This one has had the cover ripped off it by some interfering little **d, and I'd like to replace it.
Anyone know what it's called or even how to identify it?
With thanks.

Re: Need help to identify this C5 part
Could it be the hook for a window blind? Are they above the rear windows?
Can't see them on my X7 saloon. Anything to do with cargo nets?

I presume it's a tourer? Looks like item 5 in the pic below - in which case Citroen will relieve you of only £2.42! If it's not that, then let me know where abouts it is in the roof and I'll see if I can find it. No idea what it is for mind you!!

Re: Need help to identify this C5 part
Yes, looks like it's no.5 in that diagram. It is the tourer, btw.
'Box bracket'? I wonder what that is?

Re: Need help to identify this C5 part
Is it the cover over the cargo net/dog guard clips...I have the net fitted in my C5 and it can be raised in normal seat layout or Estate layout....it is a really very reassuring thing to have in the UP position when carrying stuff in the boot space.

Re: Need help to identify this C5 part
No, they are definitely not the cargo net holder.
Although the diagram above shows three, there are four, basically at mid points on top of all the doors.

Re: Need help to identify this C5 part
The diagram shows 3 but the legend shows 4
The only thing I have above my doors are four grab handles. Could they be some kind of strengthening brackets for these?

Re: Need help to identify this C5 part
This looks to me like the roof anchor point for the child seats, if they're locked on the back seats (they are to the back of the Tourer), to have a vertical attachment point as well ... I'm away on a business trip, so I can't take photos of the car to show you what I mean

Re: Need help to identify this C5 part
The front seat vertical tether point for child seat is on the inside track of the seat adjuster. The belt goes over the seat between the back and the headrest, then down to the floor anchor fixed to the seat rail. The rear ones are immediately behind each seat on the saloon, behind the head rests. The rears would obviously be different on the Tourer. To be honest, they look far more robust than the plastic bracket shown in the original post.
Cant see why the front especially would be different on the tourer. Worth a look though, as they must be for something.
Edit. On looking at the diagram again, the three child seat anchor points are shown as number 3, and there are only three shown because the front one is on the floor. (could that be right?). They are shown along the rear of the roof, nowhere near the midpoint of the doors.
None at the front, just the rear doors and tourer window so my guess is some sort of strengthener for the longer heavier roof insulation and lining.
Take them all off, plus Number "8" in the centre. If the roof falls down , you will know.

Re: Need help to identify this C5 part
The ones in the boot nearer the tailgate are indeed for a isofix child seat. The ones above the seat and further forward are for the luggage guard that attaches to the back of the seat unrolls and hooks into the ceiling mounts. and looks like a bazooka when removed.
I used to have one for the previous gens of c5 to stop luggage flying through and it was great.
But Internet new c5 we need the third anchor point for the child seat. Plus they are expensive to buy.
I dont think the front passenger third isofix point is in my manual I found it by accident.

Re: Need help to identify this C5 part
Blimey, you lot, this is far more complex than I imagined it would be.
Here's a view rearwards showing the 'big' anchors at the very rear over the boot area, plus two of these odd, loosely-named, 'anchor points':
DSC08563 by Tim Redberry, on Flickr
Ok, so here's the near side of the ceiling of the car from the driver's seat, showing the missing part that features in my first photo:
DSC08561 by Tim Redberry, on Flickr
And this is what's inside that plastic cover... a 'funny' shaped hole in metal, I think, that certainly looks like an anchor point...
DSC08562 by Tim Redberry, on Flickr
So you think that this is some sort anchor for a child seat?
Two things here: I need to know how to get a replacement part for the damaged one, plus actually find out what this thing, or all four of them, are for.
TIA
Tim

Re: Need help to identify this C5 part
The two right at the back look like the sliding covers for the child seat anchors right enough, but why only two? That funny shaped hole is an anchor for something definitely. Looks like you fit something with a large head into the upper part and slide it into the lower, smaller hole.
Are there small steel "U" shaped brackets under those covers at the back?
Also, could you look in the rear passenger footwell and see if there is a child seat anchor fixed to the end of the passenger seat slide rail. It's a little tag thing with stamped fitting instructions.

Re: Need help to identify this C5 part
Presumably, the one with the missing cover is for the 'luggage guard' when the rear seats are folded up/forward and you want to install the luggage guard in its front-most location - as opposed the rear location ?
Sadly no longer a C5 owner

Re: Need help to identify this C5 part
Yep, I reckon Mooseshaver and Bobbins(and me and stickyfinger earlier) have cracked it ( no pun intended) and the plastic bit is just a pull off cover as you said.
The front child seat anchor is here.......
Don't know why you have only two at the rear but the covers should look like this....I think, or similar.
