I send picture of 2 gears ( left and right) . If someone is interested, i can sell 2 complete or partial gears for about 300$(each)+ shipping...im in Québec, Canada. The one i install work great ans im sure this one will last compare to the cheap plastic oem.

No I don’t, this is one that came off my car (LH) that I just replaced with all metal.

Guy that posted the metal replacements above just took a good one into a machine shop to get his made.

I would suggest doing the same or someone could make a design drawing off the on that I have. But you would still have to source it at a machine shop.

New to the forum and forums in general, so I apologize for the learning curve. I'm looking for a passenger side gear. The driver side works thankfully atm. A drawing would be a great idea, I've recently acquired a cnc, and could try machining one out if given the specs. On the other hand, we could go in as a group buy if there are others interested?

Update flap gears

UPDATE FOR METAL GEARS:

OK guy's, many of you seems interested to get replacement gears for convertible flap gears. Like i said in numerous previous posts, i find a machine shop who was willing to machine metal replacement gears for me. I replace both side on my 2011 vert g37. They work as great as new oem ones but, they are most durable than the cheap plastic oem.
Some of you ask me if i got more in stock. I sell the one left that i had but, others were instrested to get one or two so, i ask my guy to made more for me. I have 6 (3 right and 3 left ) in production. 3 of them are already sold. I'm not sure if i'll be able to get some more machined so.

If some of you are serious and want one or two, you can e mail me at : guy.menard305@videotron.ca.

I also adjust the price lower ( cost me less for second batch) at 500$ usd for a pair.
it wont last forever!!!

Thanks!
Guy Ménard

I bought two of the replacements from Guy and they are coming in the mail - can't wait! I was wondering if anyone has taken a video or some pictures when they replaced the gears?

Thanks,
Larry Basel

I found a mechanic locally that was willing to do the installation - after reading the Newbie with Flipper trouble - and using the parts purchased from Guy. For both sides installed, I will have spent~$1k instead of the $4k that the dealer quoted. It is great to have the convertible working again and now I'm not worried about that part wearing out in 5 years again! I only wish I had the guts to try the installation myself but I know my limits.

2010 Convert R Flipper

Hi guys,

My passenger side flipper door is stuck and it sounds like the same issue everyone else is having. Do you guys know how many gears are on the right passenger side and is it easy to switch out?

Thanks for your help!
