Missing Part ??

Seems like this part was on the SL recently but now it's missing. If I had the name of the part and the OEM part number I could find it on line. Not sure why it would fall off as the one on the right side is very secure.
Thanks in advance for any help.

FWIW.,....

Go to www.mbepc.net

Run your VIN number, you will get EPC catalog for your vehicle with all part numbers

Thanks, I've looked at these sites and the illustrations of the parts are not very clear. The closest I've come is an "outer cover" part # 230-795-03-55 but it doesn't resemble the missing part I need.

It’s a very common issue the flap hinges are very weak. The part does not come on its own unfortunately, you need the whole of the panel which contains that flap and it’s expensive

Search the forum for flap hinge and you’ll find a wealth of info as well as a few people that will sell you one that is identical that they make on a 3D printer.
