Default Broken Hinge pin on trunk partition

On my '05 the hinge pin on the right side of the trunk partion appears to have broken at the end and now slips out of the hinge. Has anyone had this happen and done a fix themselves?

I've read of one or two cases. It should still be under warranty, perhaps the local MB will give you the part or fix it under warranty. Please post part no. if you do get one.

Had it happen on the same side but it was a warranty repair.

I'll give the local a call tomorrow and see what kind of response I get. More to come.

I have the exact same problem on a 2006 SLK350 that I bought earlier this week. Good to know that will be a warranty repair
