2004 SL55 AMG

Driver's side hinged trim cover

Is there a repair/replacement for the snap in plastic receivers that have broken off on the car part?

There is no repair part other than the entire piece with flap installed from mercedes. Less than $300 new (from mercedes dealers that sell at 20-25% under list online), I often see these offered for about the same price (used) on ebay. If you are going to replace it, I'd go with the new part (UNLESS you have a discontinued color).

Repair is possible in many cases (if you still have the flap) but probably more trouble than it is worth.

I rebuilt both of the flaps on my 2003 sl55 but I like doing stuff like that https://mbworld.org/forums/sl-class-...ml#post5812482

here is another thread with repair paths as well https://mbworld.org/forums/sl-class-...placement.html

If I had to do it again ... I'd just but the parts (form oediscountparts.com or husker)

Cheers,
Chris
