Warning - entry/ exit function

Considering the number of C-classes on the road and the inevitability of this particular failure, I am surprised nobody has attempted a DIY fix. Mine broke in driving position so I can afford to wait, but I would love to see someone find a shortcut to replacing the little plastic coupler.




Perhaps someone can help me find the partname/partnumber for the plastic coupler that is broken? How hard can it be to fix... (famous last words ;-))
