Part # for plastic retainer clip for front fender door to gain access to lo beam?
I was trying to remove the front fender door that houses the low beam but I broke the head of the plastic retainer clip when trying to remove it with trim removal plier. Next I used a screwdriver to push in the pin in order to remove the door. So now I need to replace this retainer pin. It seems the original Mercedes retainer clip is expanding type with a center pin you pull out first but my clip had a single head with no center pin. I’m guessing the previous owner used a generic aftermarket clip.
Can someone provide me with the part number for this clip? Thanks
is this the correct one?

i believe it is either #8 or #11 on that link. That flap may be just one whole assembly.

Ok thanks, does your clip have a center pin you pull out first? I don’t seem to see the particular clip on the parts diagram.
#8- front fender liner nut
#11- front fender liner cover
Like you said it might be just one assembly (the clip only comes with fender cover) but I findthat hard to believe since these clips easily break.
Update:
I called the dealer and they said they have the rivets for $3 each but they wouldn’t give me the part number - I guess they don’t want me to order them elsewhere. I looked at the parts diagram again and I think this is the correct rivet— can someone confirm this, if not can you post the correct part number?

I would order from the dealer one, and if it is not, return it. Now, once confirmed you can order a few from China, say AliExpress and keep them in your garage. It is similar to the one for the radiator reservoir, correct? And many other uses

I have seen that rivet used around the front fender liner in several MB, so it is very likely the one you need.
