Drivers Side Corner Molding SL500

Does anyone have a Drivers Side Corner Molding? Just above the door panel... It is Light Beige or Stone, as someone else told me.
Part # A 230 680 02 78
Below the Part # is: E 0381316 01 (Have no idea what that is)
Thanks

Are you talking about the piece that fits on the end of the dash? If so, the part number you gave is for the RIGHT side. Left side is 2306800178.

Now I am thoroughly confused.
But the only thing I am NOT confused about is:
I need a Light Beige Drivers side triangle trim piece, opposite the side view mirror.
Do you have one?

This?

Here is 2306800278

I don't have one. If you have one with the tab broken, I have a fix for that. Otherwise, the dealer is generally best if your color is still available, about the same price as ebay and not 18 years old.

Yep, the tab is broken.
Can you fix that?

I print repair pieces out of nylon and epoxy them to the stub of the broken one. They fit directly in the door slot, so you just remove the white clip on the door side and install the trim. I'll PM you the details.
