Need door handle help...

[Tmcgahe2]

Just this past week I broke the plastic square piece that holds my interior manual door handle in place, on the drivers side. The door still opens from the inside, but its a real pain because you have to fiddle with it.
I can't find this piece anywhere. I've checked all the local junk yards & searched online but so far I've found nothing. My truck is a 1998 Toyota Tacoma with grey interior.

I could really use some help

thanks,
-Tim

can you take a pic of it, and what year vehicle?

Its a 1998 Toyota Tacoma. You can see in the bottom left corner the crack. And for some reason that small crack is keeping the door handle from working. You have to press on the outside rim, then pull on the handle to get the door to open.

thanks,

(oh yea, sorry bout the crappy pics. I had to use my camera phone.)
