my car has the new part installed, but flap still sags when top begins to open, could the arm attached to the flap be bent?

The arm can be bent. If so it will break, that is what happened to mine. I found an independent who replaced the whole assembly, but not with a cable and tensioners, like the original setup. He said that was a "bandaid" that Mercedes knows this is a problem but there was no recall as it was not a safety issue. He replaced the cable with a rigid bar (not a cable) and new flaps. This permanently solved the droopy flap. The repair was about 1/2 of what the dealer wanted to replace just the cable and tensioners. I got the whole new assembly for less than $900.

I am sure this is my issue! You can see in the pic I took the "arc" in the original part that is causing the gear to not engage (would be easy to mistake for a stripped gear but the teeth on both sides are perfectly fine!). Look closely and you can see the gear inside. That should be sealed.

HERE IS MY QUESTION:

I have searched a bunch on MB OEM Parts sites and the original part number (120448100) comes up as not found. When I type the one in from the pics in this post (2307500111), I get this description:

OEM Catalog SUPPORTING P
MSRP: $55.00
Your Price: $44.00

Before I hit order, can someone that's ordered these already confirm this is the right item and that this is for the pair!? It's clear that this is a failed part and I want to replace both while I'm doing it!

Thanks.

Can anybody direct me to a thread to get at S69/1 which reports that the roof is in contact with the windshield? Need directions to remove interior windshield trim to get at the switch.
