Broken domelight cover, replacements?

Hey guys. upon hoping in my 83' and adjusting the rearview mirror, the domlight cover fell down, and one of the plastic tabs that holds in into place was snapped off. I tried to put it back in with one tab but it wouldn't hold. Looks like I'm going to need a new one.

Know where I can replace this part?



Thanks.



PS. Found this FB on another forum. Awesome.

Glue some Neodymium magnets to the dome and to the brackets that hold it.



Real Strong, and removable.
