Backseat Cupholder is Broken on a '99 E300TB. How does on fix it?

How would one fix a cupholder console in the backseat of a '99 E300TB? I've looked at it and it seems that the plastic piece that connects the console to the metal posts that stick out from the back seat is broken. I'd really like to fix this part on the Mercedes. Is there a way you can fix this or order the part, or am I going to have to replace the whole cupholder console?

Remember, this is the part that has a emergency kit in it. It is completely unhinged on one side.

Sounds like a DIY'er.

You may find a replacement at a salvage yard...

Good luck

Contact Potomac German Auto Parts in Maryland for used parts and assemblies or contact MyMercedesParts.com and ask for Bob Rox. They are our sponsor on this site and are the MB dealer in South Atlanta, Georgia. Their prices however are very deeply discounted and Bob is very helpful having been there for 35 years. I have personally worked with him and can vouch for his knowledge and helpfulness in my dealings with the gentleman. Best wishes.
