Zif connector -- need part

I'm trying to source a zif connector for the trackpad cable. The little tiny lift bar broke when I pulled up the adhesive while working to replace the cable. Guess I don't know my own strength. This site doesn't carry that part. Thanks for any leads!

Yup! An expensive rookie mistake. Now I get to learn another replacement! Thanks.

Is that the ZIF connector from Step 11 of this guide? If so, then it looks like you broke the whole connector off of the trackpad connector daughterboard that is attached to the top case via adhesive. Here's a link to a replacement part. Best of luck!
