interesting.
I spoke to a few dealers trying to purchase part #9 and I was told by the parts department that the covers tend to fall off and they are not allowed to sell them to the aftermarket crowed.

will the dealer sell me this part direct? and what is the reasoning for the restricted selling of this part?

went to the dealer, they said you have to order the whole underside panel($220), and it will come with a access cover.
i dont know why they dont offer it separate. maybe there was a redesign of it??
