    Maybe it's bolted in or has a big C clip. If you look in a after market catalog on line - like Dennis Carpenter's you might get it from the pictures.....good luck ! Lately I've been taking my phone - sticking it inside a door and trying to take pictures in side doors I'm trying to get everything out of....helps sometimes.
