Clockwork is on a distinguished road
looking for a special part in rear upper hatch

so I had a small fire in the drivers (left) side rear hatch lower corner. it was started by a + and - wire rubbing together over years and finally they made contact and as the cave man discovered with rocks, I had a fire in the hatch.
did minimal damage. I just needed to buy 2 tan trim pieces (thanks e-bay) and I need to source these other 2 parts.
one is called a Suppression filter and it kinda actas as a middle man to something (no idea what this actually does) but its a small black box which has one molded wire come from it and lead somewhere else, and it also accepts a connector/wire from a wire harness.
the e53 (and e39) actually have two of these suppression filters. one in each corner of the upper hatch, in the bottom corner (when glass hatch is in down position)
SO I can buy this suppression filter at the stealership for $35 BUT they can not sell me the connector as every attempt to try to track it down has failed.
so I have been calling wreckers, local want ad websites and even this forum. I'm usually able to see many X5's parting out but in this case, only 2 ppl have gotten back to me about this (thanks guys) and neither is really an option for me to procure 1 wire with black connector and one black box.
does anyone else know anyone parting a e53 out?
here are the pics of the burnt suppression filter and a pic of the non suppression filter.
(PS: the suppression filter in the left corner has a brown wire and black connector connecting to black box, yet the passenger side black box has a black with and black connector from the wire harness connecting to it (not sure why the wire color difference).
I'm open to either wire as thats all I really need since I could buy the box new locally ( 3 week wait time from Germany).
