Where can I get the steel cover that goes around the door lock? It disappeared and I really do not want to change the entire lock. Thinking the only place is a junk yard that has mb's?

Mine was also missing, probably a remnant of the car being broken into. Only way is to replace the entire handle. I was able to get a used one on-line for about $50.
