yeah.. it a pain in the butt.. I ordered a new part from ebay and I paid 149 bucks with free shipping. Actually now I am trying to reconnect the tumbler but does not enter very well.. too dark and my car is the street also..
Be prepared to cut your old part to remove a plastic switch. This was a pin and if you force the plastic switch you will break it.. Mercedes engineers deserve a nobel for this stupid design.
