I broke my seat belt buckle. What are my options?

While switching the seat belt buckle buttons to new red ones, I broke that piece of black pastic over the spring and under the red button. What are my options? Can it be fixed or does the whole belt need to be replaced? I tried Crazy Glue, but no dice.

It almost looks like that piece could be pressed in place, assuming the broken one could be removed without damage.

Just ordered a new buckle from Modern Day Muscle.

I hate breaking "like new" parts.

It was like $86 with shipping.
