Replacement tracks for rear center console cover
Inspired by this post (https://mbworld.org/forums/cls-coupe...ole-cover.html), I decided to ask the experts.
In my 2016 CLS, the rear center console covers slide open and closed on a set of "tracks". My tracks are broken. I bought this vehicle used, and it looks like someone stepped on the covers (small kid, dog?). The ends of the tracks about 1-2 includes before the cover should reach its closed position are broken off. Because of this, the covers don't actually close - they dip into the console rather than sliding into the fully closed position.
I'd like to replace these tracks, and as they don't appear to be integral to the console itself I am trying to source the parts. I have however been unable to find the correct part name or number for these tracks, they don't show up on any rear console parts diagrams, and no parts websites seem to list them. I could buy a whole new center console for $450 of course, but I'm not going to do that for this minor inconvenience.
Has anyone replaced these? Do you know of a source or part number?
Edit: Link to the box diagram to which these tracks are installed: https://www.mbpartsgiant.com/genuine...sole,5721545,2

This webpage has a parts diagram for the front console, and references a number (#400) that doesn't exist on the diagram. Although the web page does state that it is for the rear console - this is the problem I've been having when searching for this part - inconsistent information.

Only other thing I could find is this expired eBay listing, which suggests that part number refers to the entire rear console trim, rather than just the rails for the sliding covers.

Thanks for the help though!
