you can get a new one at a junk yard, or you can go to a auto place and have them order you a new one. i would not sujest going to mazda for they will rape you on the cost of any thing.
if you want to be realy cheap the junk yeard would be your best bet. you can get one for like $2.

I'm not sure about your mazda dealerships, but my local one is really good about pricing. I dislike it when people generalize and speak like their view is gospel truth. This guy could very easily have an inexpensive dealer in his neighborhood with mechanics that know the rotary, but due to people's generalizations here - he'll never bother to find out :P

Sorry about my response, I didn't mean it to read "angrily"
I just deal a lot with people who like using "everyone, everything, every dealer" in their generalizations - whenever those words are used with an opinion, it quickly lays the framework for an arguement

Just re-glue it back on (or use good epoxy). Someone measure the distance for him and he'll be in business. Hmmm... I might even have a spare one somewhere (haven't looked in a while.)

When I went to the dealership and asked for a part, they pulled it up in a computer. This tells me that their prices are pretty much set..... 130$ for a single trunk piston... how about NO?! 36$ brand new at NAPA autoparts.
Mazda will always be more expensive than the aftermarket resellers. It's like that with any car, anywhere.

I agree with pratch though - don't generalize
say "MY local dealer charges an arm and a leg for these things, sometimes an extra leg on top, but go check your local dealer too, you might be surprised."
not "All mazda dealerships everywhere charge way too much for any part"
