Description
Here is an article about the issue and also some fix ideas if the plastic holder is still in place:
http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/464749-DIY-Fix-a-broken-cargo-cover.
Update1: Also uploaded a small plastic part if the 2 screw bracket witch holds this "cap" in place is also broken just print and glue and push it in place (make sure that the screw hole is drilled/cleaned out to have a flat surface)
Update2: 2016 jan. After using it more than one year no problem with the part, its still holding the shaft firmly, also the -10C cold or 40C heat doesn't caused any issues.

Print instructions
Then glue in with epoxy two small metal clips witch will hold the spring's shaft in place. In my case the eject mechanisms screws was also broken so this thing will support also these, if yours doesn't broken just drill out these 2 holes. Then just glue in the whole thing with epoxy and should work.

Print price estimates
Planning prices for one print, not a final quote. Defaults use a size allowance inferred from the part name, not a measured or sliced model. Filament suitability must be confirmed.
| Filament | USD / print | Application notes |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | $42.50 | Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors. |
| PETG | $43.50 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $50.00 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $48.00 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $60.50 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $60.00 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |
| PA-CF | $69.00 | Filled nylon; abrasive filament and fit need review. |
Pricing assumptions and exclusions
USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.
Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.
Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
