Further on this part. The back side of this part reads: A 193 820 21 10. Definitely a Mercedes part # as the Parts man, Keith at the St Clair Shores Mercedes dealership explained that all Mercedes parts start with an "A". His effort could not find the part though. He says because the SLK320 convertible was a hardtop not a soft top. 😒

A stop at 2 Chrysler dealer parts department disclosed, yup, its discontinued.

So my only source is someone here who might have that part or know of a yard nearby that has that part.

Here's a blowup of that part.



Here's a short video my good neighbor Rick took of his pristine, low mile '08 drop top. Again, I've got the switch portion but the sliding, spring loaded piece is broken, gone (which activates the micro sensor switch, telling the top it's closed or open).

Please give me a call/text at 586-484-8489. My email is: Jim.karam65@gmail.com

Thanks all!
