What Trim Piece is This?

I put my roof down the other day and noticed this little piece missing.


What trim piece is this? Dealer wants to order the whole thing. Surely, this little bit has a separate part number.

Yeah, that entire panel is whats needed to replace that little flap, which breaks easily because the hinges are plastic

i don think you can just get the flap itself, because its part of the entire assmebly for the trim panel Ive had to had mine replaced, but covered under warranty

there are various solutions (for reinstalling the flap if you still have it), but I like this one the best (3-d printed repair-hinge)
the file (that you would send to a 3-d printer) is included in this thread (thanks to "dudeman")

hope that helps,
