The plastic trim you broke is separate from the whole black piece. You can probably get that for around 10 bucks from the dealer if you don't buy anything else. It is screwed into the window switch from the bottom held in by two screws. Take the rest of the door panel off so you can see, it doesn't look like you damaged the mounting holes.

I think he will need the entire new handle assembly.

Compare the hole in my picture to the one in his, it's the same shape. When I bought a new power window switch from a junkyard they included a chopped pigtail, the plastic piece he broke on his, two screws and the switch itself. More than likely ford will sell him just the plastic piece he needs, he just needs to ask the guy at the parts counter to look up the exact part. Bringing in these photos will help them locate the part

I see, if you can get a good deal on the whole black plastic piece that would be one option. If you want to go the cheap route which is still a reliable repair, you can get some jb weld from autozone and apply it to the rear of the plastic panel. Good luck with your repair.

ok, ill prob just try to find the plastic piece for the switch, and hopefully that should solve my problem. since it dosent really look cracked or broke on the main plastic piece on the door.

Bring your old one to a ford dealership, they have a database that has much better pictures with all the part numbers. They can look it up for you and help you place the order. I checked fordparts.com but it only shows the switch.

alright, i guess that is what i will have to do, hopefully they can order one for just a few bucks
