Need a Door handle Trim Cover Replacement
Hello all,
Haven't been on here for quite a while now, but I do have a small issue that I can't seem to fix on my 2012 E350.
I have the keyless door handles and the chrome piece on top of the front passenger handle fell off when one clips broke. Apparently the door handles only come with the full part and not separately as trims and I confirmed this by looking at the parts diagram and contacting the parts department at my local dealership.
I tried calling salvage yards around SoCal and none of them have any late models mercedes that I can leach this part off of. So I am here asking if anybody has any suggestions before I try to mod something to fix it back in lol.
Thanks in advance!

Try ebay, lots of knock off chome handles and some claim they're oem, but maybe it's a different year. Comes up when you search for w212.

I actually already looked into Ebay and it seems like the door handle chrome covers are attached on top of the existing handle covers. The ebay ones are attached by 3M tape instead of the two clips that broke as shown in my photos.
I guess I am really out of luck.. maybe I will try one of those chrome pieces, but if i'm going that route maybe i'll just try to 3M my current existing piece..
Thanks all
