Help with a part number



Hi everyone, my car was missing this part from the convertible top when it was delivered. It’s not hurting anything, but it’s driving me crazy! I’ve looked at schematics online, and they were not much help, I’ve also looked on the passenger side piece (that’s still there) and couldn’t find a part number.

Thanks in advance. Mike 05 SL600

There is no part number for just that flap - you have to buy the whole triangular piece that it attaches to. The part number is A2306903125 plus the 4-digit color code, which is 9E44 for charcoal black.

there is a guy on eBay that does a 3D replacement flap and hinge replacement that I have just replaced both on my car and it's a very good alternative
Use R230 flap in your fleabay search
i have no connection to seller but happy to put it up as a alternative

Its one of those fixes that you stand back when your done and really admire coz it was like looking at a pretty woman with a broken or chipped tooth.

One of mine was loose due to a broken hinge. At first I used Gorilla tape underneath to hold it in place, but the spring was also broken so it would flop around in the wind. I ended up doing a little work and fixed part of the hinge, but not the spring. I ended up attaching a strip of elastic via rivets to the flap and the panel. It acts as both the spring and retainer so the flap won't fly away.
