Center console latch broken
My 2008 ML350 center console arm-rest latch has just broken. I can hear a part falling around each time it lifts up and down.
It seems the lid can be removed and therefore replaced.
I don't want a whole console (see image) but just the arm-rest/lid part.
Do any of you know the correct name of the part and ideally, where I can get one?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Oddly, one day at the traffic lights I tried pulling the latch, and it slid out!
I noticed that the return spring mechanism was broken and simply placed a small piece of packing foam in it. The latch has the feel of the part before it broke! The 'repair' took a minute and cost nothing. It has and will continue to hold up well as there is nothing to break.
