Replacement Ratchet Arm Recommendation for Thule T2 Classic Bike Rack

Question

Question:

I have a Thule T2 Classic # 9044 with locking cables in the ratchet arms. Is there a part available to simply replace the gray release handle on the ratchet bar? The lower portion of the handle broke and the hook will no longer ratchet secure to a bike wheel.
