I remember reading about this coming out in the cabriolet in the
early 90s I think, something to do with some unusual resonances due
to structural changes in the cabrio. I haven't seen one, and there's 
no mention of it in the Bentley, but that doesn't mean it didn't have 
it... Maybe try going to a different dealer & ask to order the 
part - if it was there, it should show up on the fiche.
