Broke a clip while doing BHLM

So I managed to snap the clip that holds the metal trim piece under the headlight as I was removing it. The pictures is opposite the side with the screw if that helps orient the pic. Here is a pic to help get a better idea of what I'm referring to. Anyone know if that clip is available by itself? I'm doing some checking on online parts places now but I was hoping someone might know off the top of their head.

I had thought about it but I'd rather pay $20 for a new trim piece from an online store and switch the clip over... .
 
Can you not make that one work? Doesn't really look that damaged. As long as it acts as a spacer between the tab on the fender and the hole in the trim it should hold it in place since the other end is bolted on.

I feel like I've put a few back on that looked as bad as that and no one had any problems.
 
If the clip is a removable part, check local salvage yards for 4Runners of the appropriate year range.
 
I don't think you can get that separate :(

FML. Will run by dealer tomorrow to see what they can offer...

I just tried it and yeah I guess it still kinda works... Will kill my OCD to know it's not 100% tho. I will try salvage yard but I doubt this area will have what I need. Thanks for all the replies gents.
