Vario roof under boot lid flap rattling

Hi,
I have a 2005 SL500.
There are two large flaps which are tucked up under the boot lid, when you open the roof they splay out and take their place between the rear compartment and the boot lid.
When the roof is closed and you stand behind the car the one on the left tucks up nice and firm the one on the right is not a firm fit and rattles when you go over small bumps in the road.

Wondering if anyone knows the cause why the flap is not held tight and any fixes you might know.

Thanks.

There used to be a lot of posts and a fix for this problem on the R230 section of this forum. Try looking there.....
