Default Vent window latch snapped completely off

My driver side vent window latch on my 94 snapped completely off while trying to close it. Has this happened to anyone else? I know they sell replacement handles with the push pin and spring, but here the stud totally twisted off. What are my options for repairing it?

Get another wing vent at a junk yard.

You will need some swear words changing that vent assembly
Window and regulator out first, then the moldings and weatherstrips
Then the fight
Good luck
Use mini vent lube on that wing window and related parts so it does not happen again
