I relooked at the car, but did get a response from Menards and as stated above they suggested to use a little super glue. This is definitely something that a rubber band or tie down will not work on. My choice here are going to be 1 take it apart and see if I can fix it ( but I doubt it as the spring that holds the release seems to be missing also and I'm not that into taking it apart then not being able to get it back) so it appears this is going to be a Super Glue moment and hope it works or it can be a display piece.
Thanks for all the suggestions
