Window Switch Trim??

I've got an '84 300D. The plastic trim which surrounds the rear left door window switch cracked and broke off, so now all I have is a window switch which pops out of the door when it's slammed. Does anyone know if I need to purchase a whole new window switch or if I can just find the plastic trim on its own? I haven't been able to find the plastic trim piece anywhere online. I've attached a picture -- apologies for the terrible quality.

Any thoughts on how I can fix this are much appreciated!

You can buy just the trim piece from a dealer. I think I paid around $4 a couple of years ago.

Thanks tangofox! I had no idea dealerships had access to older model parts like that. Just called my local shop and they ordered it for me. I'm still new to the w123 game, so appreciate the insight.

One of my favorite things about these cars is how every compnonent breaks down into smaller pieces that can be replaced even the ccu can be taken apart and resoldered. It's amazing how small of a little tiny piece of plastic they can get a part number and mb logo on.

One of the attributes the engineers had to succeed in is to design the W123 to be easily serviceable.

I would think they succeeded.
