Default can't find a part?

The tan plastic stop that the headlight motor arm hits when opening and closing is broke. I called Corvettes of Houston and they said they had a bag of them for $9.95. So I go up there and they dont even know what I'm talking about. They asked me to show them on one of there cars in the shop. After showing them they said they didnt carry those. I called the dealership and they wanted to sell me the whole headlight assembly for 20 million dollars. Does anyone know the part I am talking about or know where I could get one?

I have had excellent prices from Gene w/ Fred Beans in Penn. He charges 5% over dealer cost for items under $500. I'd check w/ him definitely. I recently purchased a power steering pump and a new starter for awesome prices.

Here is a link to his phone #:

Good luck.
