Broken tabs on seat switch cover?

Hi all. My walnut seat swicth cover had both of its fragile lower tabs snapped off and was hanging loose in the door. I was about to buy a new one for $333, but was told by one of my local service guys that there is a repair kit for these. Sure enough, $42 from mbonlineparts, and easy repair. Part number is 215-720-89-48. Just thought I'd post it for others in the same boat.

Nice find! No picture of it on their site, did you take one by chance?

Hate to bump an old thread... but I see this part is discontinued and can't find one anywhere. Does anyone know of any other kits on the market? Some genius broke off the tabs on both of my seat switch covers on the doors and I hate having them flop around. Thanks!
