Trunk Trim

Trunk Trim
Hey guys, I recently purchased an E55 and like many of these cars it seems the trunk leaks. I've searched and read for hours before posting, but I'm looking to find a trim piece. So I believe, the issue i'm having is water running down the antenna wire which is causing the "SOS TeleAid Defective" error on the dash.
SOS Error
This is the missing piece.
This is the passenger side piece that i'm looking for.
I realize this will not solve the leak issue, but when I disassemble the trunk i'd like to put it fully back together including this piece. Does any know the part number or have access to a wrecked car that might have this part?

The bad news is that the flap you are pointing to is apart of a trunk lid paneling and not available by itself----you need to purchase the complete panel 211 690 19 41 9F08.
I think it's about 75 bucks!!

It doesn't seem like the part number is correct unless the pictures pulled up are incorrect. The part numbers given seem to be the trunk liner that attaches to the trunk lid and not the part that goes on the "frame". I tried to look for the part in the Electronics Part Catalog but it is not easy to find.
The Teleaid SOS issue is a common issue and is usually due to corrosion on the antenna connector to the Teleaid box or a severed antenna cable. You should check the teleaid box to see if it is indeed corroded or just disable it in Star. I chose to just disable it since I don't use it.

Yep i'd love to disable it via STAR. Problem is no one around my area has access. The SOS error is no doubt related to the water leak and corrosion. This weekend I plan on taking the trunk apart to get access. I've had the car about two weeks now, and undoubtedly the SOS error is related to water. Everytime i've washed the car, which is a lot due to the pollen or it's rained the SOS error has come on right after.
