Facelift C43 Interior Door pull?

So I'm finally getting to the nitty gritty and taking the car apart to fix little things, detail, etc. (don't even get me started on the battery acid in the trunk/spare tire area from the idiot previous owner).

Anyways, both pieces of wood trim on the left side doors (f&r) each have a tab broken, the front where the wood meets the seat controls, the rear at the rear of the trim.

Also, both door pull covers have tabs snapped off that hold them in place (why MB made these so difficult to remove, I have no idea).

So, looking for best options to replace the wood trim or fix the tabs, and part numbers for the door pull cover? Or if anyone has take-off door pull covers, wanna sell'em?

Thanks!

Pull the broken tabs out of the hole with a pair of needle nose and super glue them back on or heat meld them back on. Those interior door pulls are very expensive and very hard to locate. Not worth replacing unless they are in bad cosmetic shape IMHO. You can also heat meld the broken tabs on the wood trim as well. The wood trim pieces are outrageously expensive.

That's what I was afraid of. The superglue is setting as I type, but I may try and find some as a backup plan in case.

Thanks.
