Finally I got to replace the infamous supporting plate of the flap drive - A 230 750 01 11. I ordered it from AutohauAZ. They sell them as a pack of two. Got the parts - in a genuine Benz bag, with four new screws included. I was trying to do replacement without removing the whole assembly from the trunk lid. I was unable to engage screws, so I thought that that might be the reason they included new screws - different thread. Grabbed new screws - same thing. Took the part to the bench - no thread it it at all. Same for the second part in the bag. While I was able to deal with the problem by just tapping a thread in two holes in the part (M6x1), I still want to get in touch with AutohauzAZ and see what I can get from them (I suspect that it is not their fault). Just wanted to warn everybody to check for correct threads in any replacement parts before they take things apart.

Update. Talked with AutohausAZ. They said that according to their info, there is no thread and it comes with self tapping screws. Self tapping my a$$. So be aware of this potential problem and prepare to thread these parts.
