2008 Mirror turn marker lens cover

managed to get just grazed enough by a bus near the Holland Tunnel yesterday that the plastic on the turn marker case got scuffed black and even a little bit cracked. My concern is that water may get in there (its raining now) and I don't want any future electrical problems with the mirrors, signals or otherwise. Has anyone dealt with this yet? My question is, (which I think I know the answer to) is, does anyone know if you can order just the plastic cover or does Mercedes make you replace the whole mirror? I'm guessing its the latter but who knows. I already did an APB out on Junkyarddog.com so hopefully if that is the case they can track one down for me that I can piece apart. What a pain right? I remember on the C class once they tried to ask like $800 for the actual mirror inside the mirror housing! Ugh, Mercedes.

Wouldn't this be a collision claim against the bus? That would make the replacement No Charge to you, and no Charge against your policy.
