05 c230 armrest

I have been looking for this armrest.
The type that opens from the side. But no luck. Does anyone know the OME #. Or where to get one. I have tried eBay but I have not been able to locate.
Thx

Does anyone know how to take this a step further and disassemble the armrest to replace the vinyl?

There is a sequence to follow. First push down on the front tongue. While down squeeze in the side buttons. Hold it hard. The 4 pins will retract slightly. One at a time push down on the back curved arm all the way back. This movement will cause the assembly to lock in place for install and the 4 pins will retract all the way in. Gently place the armrest cover in place and then when aligned correctly, press down hard on the back and the front. The pins will come out and fasten inside the housing and the curved arms will lock into place too. Operate as usual. i will try to attach some pictures. Hope that helps somebody.
@proffessort4u. I wish I could get a video of this procedure

I have seen a forum post where someone has done a tear down on the lid, I will post a link if i can find it again!

I have a 2004 version of the armrest lid available for sale, in great condition. It varies very slightly to the 2003 version, which is why i couldn't use it. Can provide pics if anyone is interested..?
