Default Broken Audio Auxiliary Port

Has anybody ran into trouble with their stock radio's auxiliary port? My face plate fell off and I don't have it anymore. Also, some of the metal supports inside the port are damaged. I can still hook up my cord but it fits pretty loose and and small tugs make it come out of position or fall out completely. Any suggestions or solutions? I really don't want to replace the whole radio just for this.




Thanks.

my cover has come off (Satellite radio keep falling down) but the jack itself survived that 100 times. I would say either Solder a new jack on, or a new/used radio

Not sure where you are located, but here's one for $50 in CT.

I want to avoid replacing the whole thing, but I'm not really sure on how I would find a new port to solder on.
