Default Driver's door rattle goes from annoying to unbearable...

I drove down to Baltimore last night for Passover, and noticed that the rattle at the rear of the driver's door in my Roadster has gone from slightly annoying to unbearable.

I looked at it, and it appears that the "drip cup" that the "localiser wedge" on the door mates with is broken. Part number according to an online source is 8N7 837 031 D. Can anyone verify this before I order it? Also, I cannot find anything in the online Bentley about this part, which is unique to the roadster. I am wondering about the correct attachment torque...

Default I think you are missing the point -- the plastic cup is fractured...

...and needs to be replaced.
