W203 Cupholder Cover Replacement?
Exciting title, right?
Well, recently my sliding cupholder cover started cracking and breaking off by small sections. So, I removed the rest of it, and was curious if there's a specific part # for this, or if I could get a replacement somewhere other than the dealership?
Also, what would be involved with replacing this? Is this something I'd have to take to the dealership anyway because the entire center armrest/shifter area would have to be removed?
Kind thanks!

Here is how to remove or install the cover - easy. Note that you DO NOT have to remove the shifter boot. Just pull the whole wooden trim piece up and let it dangle on the shift boot. (You probably have aluminum trim though)
The cover itself is about $30: http://www.parts.com/parts/2004/MERC...iagram=5775330
Edit: Just for $%cks and giggles I would ask a dealer how much it would run you. Bet they would say around $300 >:-)
