Tonneau Release Switch Replacement

I was puling my golf clubs out of the back seat and I knocked the tonneau release switch. Seems that the housing it was in has broken and I can't get it to mount,.
Anyone have a replacement laying around?
1992 RS Convertible.

(I can "jump" it by using a metal screwdriver to get the switch to activate. So i can get it to work. But would prefer the actual switch).

I have always just used a new rear hatch release switch... those you can get new... just the graphic isn't right... tonneau switches always seem to be beat up and overpriced.

Thanks!!! I saw the rear hatch release for sale in a few spots. Wasn't sure if that would work. Gonna give it a shot.
