Transmission selector/shifter cover
2006 CLK 350. Trim piece around shifter selector on auto trans is loose and flops around while changing from P to D, R etc. Seems like plastic clip is broken that holds it in place.
Dealer says price for the "chrome" (plastic) part is $225.60.
Any ideas how to get around $225 for a thin piece of plastic?
Thanks to all

I put double sided tape beneath the flange where you can't see it. Seems to hold so far.

i think the shift boots shrink
and cause the pieces to move around
here is a far less invasive approach
try a little plastic epoxy
buildup on the ends of the tabs
