Trunk lid won't stay open 444-544

My trunk lid won't stay open. It seems to be the same system as, for example, on Porsche 356 cars, where you open the trunk lid, lower it slightly, and then it holds itself. To close it, the trunk lid has to be lifted slighly, and then lowered slowly. It's some kind of a pin, most likely only on the left side, that "rolls" into place and out of place.

I know that the problem is not the hinges themselves; it's the part mounted/welded to the body, and I have no clue on how to repair that part or if it's even available.

Anyone with some insight?
