My passenger side window looks to have chewed the White clip/guide that the windows rises up and down on, question is can you buy the White clips or do you have to buy the whole mechanism?

I manged to wrap a stainless steel cable tie around the remains of the last broken clip i had on my previous mk3, this worked fine for the entirety of the 3 years I owned it.
