Default Help need to find roof flap replacement part

one of the little flaps that go up and down when the roof is activated broke off. they say it will cost 750$ (!) to repair it so i wan to do it myself because it's easy. Does anyone know where to find this part?

I just bought the whole $440 piece to repair the left flap on my '04. I only needed the plastic arm.
So... if you need parts for the left side, PM me and we'll see if what I have can help you.
I'm reasonable and will part this out or sell whole.

Just remove it, and the other one. You must have an 03. VW deleted them in newer years, due to all of the problems.

I broke mine cause my drunk self at vag fair didnt realize a water bottle was sitting on my roof and somehow when I went to close my top cause it started raining it fell in.....but yea the rubber part that flips in into place to operate the top broke. Can that be replaced or must I replace the whole flap? I could take off the other side but it just makes the car look less classy even tho it looks ghetto now with just one flap....what do you think?
