they all brake there, i was fed up when my drivers side quit shortly after replacing the passengers side, so i fixed it, JB weld will not hold that is for sure, but some heavy gauge piano wire will.

using a vise, pliers and a zip zip i was able to rebuild. (or i should say reassemble it to what should be its shape replacing the broken piece there with a zip tie. its tough to keep the spring where it should be, but then i used the piano wire and tightened it some, removed the zip tie, then tightened it some more. sounds like a crap fix, but i was leaving to go on vacation the next morning and needed to fix it. it's been almost a year i'd say and all is well. i was going to repair the correct way but decided not to after it held up so well.

i wrapped the piano wire behind the metal rod where the spring is, and through the opening under the piece there that is broken, not just behind the broken piece.
