Default I Broke this

Can anyone show me where to get another one of these? I was fixing one of my speaker wires, and it ended up breaking some of the teeth when I pulled the dash off. It came off a 2000 Monte Carlo.

I would try your local chevy dealer. a good parts counter person can find just the plastic piece you need and i'm just guessing but looks like should be fairly cheap 8-10 $.

I did a search for that part on GMpartsdirect a while back. They only wanted to sell the entire ingition switch with the piece. Which is hugely expensive and un-necessary IMO.

If the junkyards aren't any help, I'd go with Jeff2425's idea. Bring the broken piece with you to the parts counter. There's likely a part number molded right into the plastic. A good parts guy should be able to get the part without the ignition switch.

I'd hit up local parts recycler's, i'm sure if you found one they'd let it go for a couple bucks.

mine is broke as well, the crappy part about it is the fact the stealership did it when i had the ignition cylinder changed...

they put it back on with some form of glue... i only found it when i was taking my dash out.

SILICONE!!! That's what I used to fix mine!!! I'm not even kidding. I took the dash off, lined it up where it's supposed to be and TADA! Holds like a charm, I glued the ignition collar directly to that rubber bit in the little hole where the key goes (you know what I mean) and it sticks. as long as I can get it around the ignition and it stays there, I dont care if it aint supposed to be glued.
