Default Plastic trim/clip/housing on driver's seatbelt

A few months ago, the plastic clip/housing (on the metal buckle) of my driver's seatbelt broke. It's the plastic peice that keeps the metal buckle from sliding all the way down to the floor (when the seatbelt is not buckled) and also keeps the belt cinched when buckled. I stopped by the dealer today and it looks like the only way to get a new one is to buy a complete seatbelt, which I'm willing to bet isn't cheap. Anyone replaced one of these before? I tried a search but all the seatbelt threads seem to be about the seatbelt loops that bolt to the headrest.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Did you happen to get a quote for the entire belt? I imagine it's not cheap.

No clue on how much the new ones are, but its probably worth a try to get someone thats parting out a wrecked car to sell you one. I can't see that being very expensive.

Thanks for the reply. If I get angry enough, I just may go ahead and replace it!

Well, that saved me some time! I just tore mine off today because the cracked sides and the metal clips inside kept snagging my hand. Do we have a part number? I can't seem to locate it in my electronic parts manual.
