I sent an email to AutoMotion to see if they would just sell the roller as the shade and bracket are fine. Awaiting a response. Attachment 346727

I had the same thing happen on one of my shades... I was trying to adjust it, it felt real "scratchy", so I took it off the mount.. I found a broken plastic tab like yours...
I took it to a place nearby, Temecula Valley RV, who AutoMotion told me was an AutoMotion dealer.
I gave them the shade, they charged about $100, and I got it back fixed and properly adjusted. I just remounted it and it's worked well since..
So I know they sell the replacement parts, just unsure if they sell to non-dealers...
Good luck with your fix...
