Grr...glovebox handle snapped off. Can my mechanic (or I) fix this?

Sigh. I've been expecting this for the three years I've owned the LGT, since the handle has always felt super flimsy to me. I reached over to open it and SNAP! off it came (it was butt cold this morning, which is the only reason I can think of for why it broke). And it didn't just pop off -- it's definitely broken. I found the small shard of plastic that I assume used to attach the handle to the glovebox door.

 

Considering the car's out of warranty, is this something I can bring to my local mechanic to fix, or that I can do myself? I've never had this happen on any of my cars, so I've got no idea how simple or complex a job it'd be (i.e., I really don't want to go to the dealer). Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

p.s. I can't wait to get pulled over while the glovebox door's locked in place. "Need to see your registration, sir." "Sure thing, officer. Got a screwdriver handy?"

It should be fairly simple, once you get the broken door open and old lock removed. Very straight forward I believe.
