First, if you want to pay $100 for the part or $400 for Toyota to fix it, go ahead. Or take the plastic handle off, drill a 1/4 inch hole where the broken plastic arm comes off the plastic handle, and insert a 3" long, 1/4" thick bolt that has 1 inch of thread. Use two nuts, one on each side of the plastic handle to lock the bolt onto the handle. Use a hacksaw to cut off the bolt head. Bend the bolt upwards a bit if you need to. Reinstall the plastic handle. You just saved at least $100 and have a new latch that will never break again.
