Cup holder insert clip spring

Am i the only one that keeps on gluing these clip springs back? Already glued about 3 different ones of them cuz they break easily for some reason.
Checked on ebay they 20 bucks new , would of been a lot of money.

BTW just to be clear , it breaks where that T looking black plastic piece is and the spring attaches on it.

Why not just buy the whole thing so you'll have spares? Mine was missing when I bought my car so got the whole thing on eBay. About $40 with free shipping.

They're about $30 online, but you have shipping unless you're getting a bunch of other stuff.
