sl55 convertible flaps that fold away under the trunk

there are 2 flaps that fold away under the trunk when the roof is closed and when open they fold out and look like part of the rear parcel shelf.

I noticed one of them was not hanging properly and closing tight against the underneath of the trunk as the other one had. They look like they are adjustable with a turn bolt?

Do any of you know what Im talking bout or if its possible to ajust it so that its tight against the trunk again when the roof is in the closed possition?

Thanks

The cables stretch. The cables include the motor that actuates them and the hinge portion of your flaps. It's all one assembly. I just tried to repair a car last week and Benz said they were no longer available. I am guessing a improved part will be available shortly. Very common.
