Default Missing convertible moving trim panel?

So I didn't realize until after, but my right side moving trim panel flap in the back that comes up when you put the top down is missing!! Is there supposed to be 2 in the back? Can I order the missing piece through a dealer?

Thanks!

Yes, there are two, but does it look OK back there? The flaps really have no purpose at all. The ones after 2004 don't even have them.
I saw a 2010 in the showroom the other day. There was nothing there but a hole where the flaps used to go.
The flaps are notorious for malfunctioning any way.

Oh really? Ok, it looks fine, you don't even notice with the top up! That's why I didn't notice until today!
