Broken rear sliding window latch.

It has been at least a week so I guess it's about time I find some more damage on my truck. Well the latest happened when a child slammed the rear sliding window shut so violently that the black, plastic latch flew appart.

It broke really good to. the actual plastic pin holder split apart causing the spring latch to fly appart. I can see that the latch is attached with some industrial strength glue onto the window. Does anyone have a clue on how to fix it?? Is there a kit?? How much?? I checked the search forum but after a few hours, I could not get the information I was looking for. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
