What's the brand of regulator? Recently a guy posted on a Mercedes forum that his less than year old Uro brand (made in China) regulator snapped off a couple spot welds in a suspiciously similar manner. He drilled and added screws to reinstall the broken piece, but you might try rivets on yours. The aftermarket supply chain is getting weaker by the day. Caveat to the emptor
