Default 1997 Avenger part help needed

My parents have a 1997 Avenger base model (only 65,000 miles on it).I am trying to find them a bezel for the drivers side window switches. The part where the switches attaches to broke all 4 screw mounts. Can this be replaced separately or does the whole door panel have to be replaced? Where can I find parts for this thing, no luck with google, Amazon, or eBay. Any help would be appreciated
interior is gray

You may need to replace the panel. I would remove first and see what you need. Have you Tried Rock auto. That is where I get most of my parts for my 96 avenger.

Rock Auto does not sell the part I need, haven't been able to find one anywhere. I checked the local junk yards, and no one has any avengers. I am not even sure if this trim piece can be separated from the door panel, looks like it may have some plastic welds in some spots holding it on.

Wasn't having much luck finding parts, so I used some epoxy, hot glue, and 2 newly made screw locations to secure it. Seems to be holding up fine.

Currently the fix I did seems to be working fine, but I will keep you in mind if it fails to hold up. Thank You
