Hardtop part help
One little plastic piece that hold cable going to flap to allow hardtop operation has broken. Would appreciate any help with part number. Thx

I am searching for the exact same part for my 350SL. The cable sits lose without this part, and it keeps the little flap from opening.

Dealer ordered 2 for me. Dropped one piece so glad I got 2.

Pita to install. Have to get top in perfect place to install. Still not quite flat flap when top down. Will have to adjust more.

Pic of flap not raising enough.


pic of cable position after locked in.



can’t see adjustments to make flap raise more. But cable locked into notch of bracket. More fooling around needed.
