I think you can ask your service advisor if they can change that under warranty. Don't mention anything about how it got damaged tho. If not, just order a new door handle.

In the market
For something that small I would be really suprised if MB didn't take care of that for you. They have always taken care of me with stuff like that. On the other hand...this would be an excellent excuse to buy a new one!

I have a nick in my rear quarter behind the door and one in the wheel from a rock thrown at my vehicle by another while driving on the high-way. It sucked and I was pissed. But the dealer gave me a free tube of touch up paint and it is now covered up. Of course the dent from the rock is still there but what can I do. I guess I will have to trade it now and get another one. Damn rocks, now my car is worth less than it should be. There goes the value..... The dealer may fix that under warranty for you if you are nice and play dumb on how it got there.
