Driver's inside pull handle

My driver's inside pull handle broke at the top screw and I need to replace it. If anybody out there has a dark grey handle with wood trim (I don't need the wood trim but..) or know where I can get one it would be much appreciated. Thanks

I am surprised by lack of response on this thread. I have been around 4 different 163 MLs and on all in have had to fix the pull. All by very crudely using JB Weld. All were broke where it attaches through the door panel. On one I even used a wooden dowel on backside for screw to go in to. It has not happened on the one just purchased yet. However I don't see them offered on ebay or any repos being made. I may have just found a way to make some money. Hard to believe 4 out of 5 I have been around have had the problem but no one talks about it on forums.

Tell us about how you fixed yours, I wish I had taken pictures of past projects.

I couldn't find a handle anywhere so I ordered a new one without the wood trim and installed it. It looks like the passenger side so I'm a happy camper. I also replaced the Crankshaft Positioning Sensor so hopefully the truck won't stall at a light anymore.

I got it for 60.95 with 10.59 of that being shipping. It came from Aristocrat Motors in Merriam Kansas through mercedespartscenter.com.
