Aluminum Door Sill Assembly Pins

I'm an idiot, and my shoe lace accidentally caught the aluminum Mercedes door sill on the drivers side of my car - breaking it off. The slots on the underside of the sill piece are fine, but I broke all three white clips underneath that secure to the underside of the piece and then snap into the car. Tried using epoxy but it didn't hold. I can take pictures later if there is a confusion.

What is the part number for this item and can I get this on parts.com? I have a feeling the dealer will charge me $50 for these pieces (still have to check, not that big of a deal though if I have to go the dealer route) so just wondering if I can get them for cheap in case the same thing happens again.

Thanks all.

So you broke the white plug under the kick panel(aluminum). It's $2.5/EA MSRP.

EPC is free if you have a USA credit card

EPC is for looking up part numbers. It is free if you live in the USA and have a USA credit card number.

(The on-line repair manuals/instructions are a distinct service and are not free.)

You will need to supply your credit card details, just like an on-line purchase. The credit card will be used to authorize/authenticate your use. This happens once and is good for the next 365 days. You won't be actually be charged anything.

Hahahah well put, thanks ozusa and Plutoe. I know you're a big advocate of the EPC so I will give it a look and learn more about my E-Class.

And yeah it was the kick panel pins, that's the right term. Thanks.
