Angry Seat recline switch

The drivers seat recline switch on my 91 ls400 broke. I went to the dealer and they want $160 for the whole set of switches. After I took the switch apart I realized it is one lousy piece of plastic that broke and is not worth more than $.25. I feel like I'm being gouged just to be able to recline my seat once and a while, it was bad enough that I paid over $300 for the clock. Has anyone found an alternative to going to the dealer. Every junk dealer I've spoken to won't separeate the switches from the seats.

Get a new switch. If you super glue the little plastic piece to the switch then you can't move the switch at all.
