Default 88 convertible parts help

Hi all,

I am having the worst luck finding what I need on any mustang parts site. I need to replace the mangled drivers side convertible catch located at the top of the a pillar. I cant find any information about the part except I can replace the plastic cover. Does anyone have any idea what this part is actually called and if I'll be able to find one new?

Thanks

MJR46 Thank you for the response, but I need the part at the top of the actual wind shield frame that the little plastic bushings go onto. That part is worn out and looks to have already been replaced once with a different year as the visor style and color doesn't match the passenger side. The replacement plastic bushings didn't even survive the summer last year. Ill try to get a picture of it tonight but its the part at the top corner with the actual visor arm coming out of it. I cant find it anywhere short of going to a junk yard and trying find them.
