I have to thank all you guys in this forum for your information.
I was able to fix the the broken latch based on the information in this forum. I bought metric nut driver, #4 screw and 5 minutes epoxy. That is it. I saved hundreds of dollars. I would suggest to drill and drive a #4 screw between the two broken pieces in addition to gluing the two pieces. This solution will provide a stronger part than buying a new replacement. I think the original design is flawed strengthwise, and stiffening the broken pieces would be a better alternative rather than replacing the same part that will break apart any time.

Thanks for your help.
