Broken glovebox handle, WTB?

[bigpoppax2]

My 01 Beetle's glove compartment handle decided it didn't like being attached to the glove box. It's broken and unrepairable.

Where would be a good place to start looking for a replacement. I realize I'd have to swap the key part for it to really work, but I really don't see the need to lock it. So as long as I can find a glovebox handle I'll be golden. Tan or black would work if someone has a parts car.

Thanks,
Joe

let me know if you find out how to fix it cause I am looking for a glove box door latch fix also.

I'm pretty sure you need to get the whole door. If you get a new one, it won't have a lock. You just pop in the one from your broken handle.

mine came off too! so shoddy. I just kept the handle and I wiggle it in there when I need to get in my glove box.

<snicker> I thought I was the only one with the handle in the door pocket for those occasions when I don't feel like fiddling with the levers with my fingers.
