Interior piece repair help

I have an interior piece on our Cayenne that has a broken plastic nub for lack of better words. The little door piece will not close without the nub. Do any of you have a trick fix for this kind of thing?

Isn't that what toothpicks and matches are for?

Ah...a little magnet adhered to the door maybe. Will the magnet have to be the same shape as the plastic nub for it to close correctly?

I've used that trick to repair unfastened hinges on a 2-8 door before.

Yeah, I've been thinking about that same solution too. I suppose I could look for a little plastic piece that is about the same density and then shape it into a nub thingy. Gluing would follow.
