Default broken part in wiper switch, ideas?

I recently broke some small plastic part in the wiper switch and I was wondering if any knows
if i can just replace that and not the whole assembly.

Here is a picture of the wiper switch. If you see in the middle of the square block,
there is a small white tube-like shaped plastic piece. It goes over a small spring
that pushes the lever back when pulled.

The top portion (rounded end) of that white plastic broke and the spring
now gets caught while moving instead of rubbing smoothly over its path.

I was wondering if any had this problem before. If i can only find something
that was the same size it would be an easy/cheap fix. I'd rather not
shell out 15+ bucks just to get a whole new switch.

Which sounds like a better plan? Spending 15 dollars and beind done. or Going on a wild goose chase, only to find something that "sorta works"?

Well, the 15 bucks was a wild guess. Anyone here have it to sell for 15 bucks?
