Do you mean the plastic pull that activates the switch opening the trunk from inside the car? If so you can buy another one but I've never heard how you replace it, sorry.

No problem. I just looked at mine and I think you might have to remove the wood trim piece to secure the pull to the switch. I remember reading somewhere that the 4 window switches come as a group on the same board. But what you're talking about is probably available as just that. Since you can see better than I, does it look like you can glue it back together in some fashion or is the pull broken?
Worst case scenario is you might have to buy the switch/pull together and then once you gain access it's probably plug and play.

HI. JUST JOINED YESTERDAY & THIS PROLLY IS TOO LATE BUT I JUST REPLACED THE WOOD GRAIN PIECE SURROUNDING THE GEAR. TOO EASY...YOU'LL NEED A FLAT HEAD DRIVER. CROWBAR THE WOOD GRAIN PIECE WORKING UR WAY AROUND THE WHOLE THING. SHOULD COME OFF EASY. NEXT, YOU'LL NEED TO UNPLUG THE PLUGS TO THE TRUNK & WINDOW SWITCHES BEFORE TOTALLY REMOVING THE WOOD GRAIN PIECE. AFTER THAT, UNDER THE WINDOW SWITCHES (ON BOTH SIDES) ARE 2 CLIPS (1 ON EACH SIDE) THAT YOU'LL HAVE TO SLIDE EITHER UP OR DOWN TO UNLOCK. THE SWITCHES & WOOD GRAIN PIECE SHOULD FALL APART. ENJOY!
