SL55 Hardtop (Flap)

So recently run into the common problem of my right flap starting to hang a bit when raising and lowering top. Able to manually hold the flap into position to allow for closing of top.

Per recommendations from the community, bought the parts immediately under flap (roughly $50 for the 2 sides. - Part number 120448100.)

Unfortunately, this did not fix the problem, and local Mercedes dealership is now saying the whole assembly is necessary to resolve the problem.

Part number 2308201942 is their recommendation at: $515.00 from the dealership. (Whole assembly.)

Don't get me wrong, don't mind paying for what is necessary, but tired of paying for the items we don't need.

Thoughts? Any way to just purchase the right passenger side of this assembly?

What are they quoting you for labor? Local dealership here to replace one of those flaps is $1,000+ parts and labor.

$510 for parts and $350 labor basically.

Definitely not finding the part any cheaper anywhere else. $480 or so the cheapest.
