Default Heater Box. Part Identification Help Needed.

Went to change the heater core in my 88 K5 (with AC, and a 5.7) when I noticed the stupid plastic part was broken. Its the mount to the door. Not sure what GM would call it to even try to find it online. Here is a close up and one further away. Its the door in the front and its upside down in the Picture.
Anyone know what this plastic POJ is called?

*Moving to Fullsize Tech* 1st Gen Tech is for S-series vehicles, not the fullsize trucks. Also, please familiarize yourself with the rules of the forum, specifically rule #4.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that your best bet is likely the dealership (GM part # 3018715) if you can't find it at the junkyard and don't want to try gluing it back together.



*EDIT* I was able to find a replacement -- Cheyenne Parts.com


I also found a decent DIY solution that would provide long lasting service life (attached image). For best HVAC performance, you'd want to seal up the opening as best as you can.

Wow, thanks a million for all the help. I was sure GM had me by the nads on this one. The last small plastic part my wifes car needed was $100. So glad this one is so cheap. Also sorry for the early bump. Will take note of the rule in the future. Would probably have helped if I had posted in the correct section lol.

Went to the link and they wanted $2.99 for one and $15 to ship. Ended up calling the dealer and had to get 5 but was only $12 total. For once I got a cheaper price at the dealer. If anyone needs any I have four available for $18 shipped . *Joking.
