Unfortunately the corner from which I needed a part was the corner that was crunched. There’s a fuel vent valve that I could use but I didn’t feel like crawling around in the mud. Normally I love rainy summer days, but not when I have to crawl under a car that’s resting on gravel.
I did manage to grab a shifter bezel that I hope I can modify to work with the manual transmission. I’ve already got one, but now I have one that I can practice on if necessary. What was even better is that they didn’t charge me for it.
I’ll save you the gore that is the remnants of my finger. I reached in to the back of this car through the hatch and dragged my finger along the broken glass. Oops. Much to my surprise I found a maxi-pad in the next car and used that to stop the blood flow, and dumped in a little cyanoacrylate when I got home. I almost couldn’t get out of the lot - as I got in my car the paramedics were pulling up (not for me) and blocked me in, but with some guidance and creative turning in my space I managed to get free.
I’ll have to go back when things dry out, but I just need to find something to make the wrenching a little easier. Something like a yoga mat would probably be perfect but I don’t have one and have no idea how much the cost, or for that matter, where to buy one...

Laying on gravel puts hair on your chest.

Go to Amazon.com, type yoga mat in the search field, don't spend money on anything from Manduku if you're just using it in a junk yard

Cardboard or old carpet scrap.
