Broken T-Map Securing Clip

Last night I was removing the T-Map sensor plug and I broke the little grey securing clip from the T-Map sensor plug. Does anyone know how I might be able to replace this connector plug?

The grey clip is not a big deal. I lost mine not long after the initial installation, but it never caused a problem.

I noticed that the back tab had broken off but the part that is inserted in the slot is still in there. Should I just remove the whole clip? I wasn't able to remove the plug after I installed it due to that piece still stuck in the slot.

Should be able to manipulate the leftover plastic piece with a mini pick type tool. If you don't have one, Harbor Freight sells a set of them for a few dollars. Good thing to have in toolbox.

Lost mine too.

Lift the tab from the right inside side of connector, and pull connector away.
