CLK Cabrio roof part

[tonyspicer]

I have a 2006 A209 CLK 350 cabrio.

For several months I have had trouble with the roof mechanism being temperamental. I believed it was the switches, however on closer examination yesterday there appears to be a pin missing from the boot separator which allows the plastic flap to drop thus fooling the micro switch in to believing it is not correctly down.
Does anyone know:-

1) How I find the part number for said pin?

and

2) Where I can order one on-line ?

Many thanks

Tony

Photo ?

The left hand photo shows the offending hinge, which appears to lack some sort of pin to locate it.

The right hand picture shows the other side which appears to locate correctly.

Any ideas ???

Fixed with a plastic "rawlplug". Correct diameter and tapered. alternative technology. micro switches no longer an issue.

if that is the fix then ordering the right part must be high on your list of jobs to do right?
