Just go to mazda dealers parts monkey.
Mazdatrix wants $8.81
http://www.worldpartsexpress.com/ wants $5.82
Ray @ Malloy probably has about the same price.

If you tend to lose parts, buy a spare.

Dont wast your money on the stock plastic crap. Take the threaded part and washer to the hardware store. Find a short bolt that is the same thread and a couple of washers to space the bolt just right.

Same thing happened to me and thats what i did. Works perfectly and i will never have to worry about breaking it.
