W211 Centre Console things

[Lance]

Not sure what to call them but I need these as the little hooks on the back of them have snapped off. It’s the elegance so it’s the one with two rather than just one.

Can anyone advise where I might get them on the net? I’m in Spain and went to a MB dealer but they couldn’t (or wouldn’t) help.

I attach photos if it helps.

eBay or a car breakers yard ?

They regularly break, you can glue them back on,
or get replacements
and glue them on when they break.

Just use Araldite Crystal. I did- my 211 (Avantgarde) has identical console. Works fine.

The actual hooks are broken and gone so I can’t glue the hooks back on although the surfaces of the plastic things and the console don’t appear to meet. I’ve tried superglue and this didn’t work although maybe I should get some glue other than from a Chinese shop over here!!

The hooks on mine had broken too. You don’t need them. There is enough surface area to glue the trim directly to the part underneath it.

Go on Amazon and buy some Araldite Crystal two pack epoxy resin. That’s what I used and it works very well. Costs around £5-6.

Superglue tends to be cr@p at gluing dissimilar plastics.

I used gorilla glue on mine and they are stuck solid.

Thanks for all your kind suggestions. As it happened Lídl had in an epoxy glue for 2€ so got that and appears to have done the trick. I was thinking the surfaces didn’t actually meet but they appear to!
