Default Has anyone else broke their cigarette lighter/ power outlet?

well today i went to go plug in my phone charger and when i pushed in the plug into the cigarette lighter it just popped right through. the outlet piece just broke right out of the plastic. the rim of plastic around it cracked and now my outlet doesnt stay up. i was wonder if their is somthing like a cigarette lighter delete or somthing like that..... i might just try to glue it back in or get some black plastic, cut a circle out and glue that in there to cover the hole. just wanted to see if i am the only one that had this happen to them..

Like others have said its an inexpensive part. I bought mine through GM for around $10. It included the plastic peice that you broke, along with the cigarette lighter hole. All you have to do is pop the old corner peice out and unhook the wires, hook the new wires up and pop it back in.

I broke the one that is by the cup holder (on TA) but the lighter one is fine.
