Default Broken plastic hood release

Guys,
I manage to break the plastic hood release switch. It is the switch that is located on the bottom of the driver side door sill.

Any ideas on how to replace it? P/N and a how to would be greatly appreciate it!

I don't have the P/N at work but I can get it this evening if someone else doesn't beat me to it.

Here is a link to a DIY which shows how to remove the door sill plate

I did the same thing 2 years ago. Here's a link to my post on Renntech

I had mine replaced thanks to PCNA. Mine was caused due to corrosion. Looks like the switch does not like getting damp. Attached is another R&R instruction that adds a little water proofing to the fix.

Thank you for this post. Your Word document just helped me make quick work of a replacement switch.
