Default Sunglasses Holder Fixed - But need Spring recommendations

I replaced the small release spring under my push button that opens the sunglasses holder. I found a replacement spring at the ACE but its stiffer even when cut down. I'd prefer an OEM spec spring just so I dont overload the plastic release tab. It may get brittle in the cold.

Where can I grab a new OEM style spring - any ideas?

How To:
-Pop out acrylic dome light lens (pop rear and swing forward)
-2 small screws near dome lights to remove
-2 screws behind sunglasses holder (swing open covers)
-drop assembly from ceiling and remove white wiring connector on passenger side
-release for sunglasses button is 2 small Philips you remove from the back side
-take a pic before you pop apart the spring and release button
-use a small screwdriver and pliers to pull the pin out of the release assembly
-replace spring and reassemble :-D
