Don’t stall.

I don’t think I can agree with all that on a burger, though bacon, cheese, and pineapple on a burger could definitely work.

As others have said, works without it; but you probably want it there.

Order one from eBay that fits your year, make, model. You may need to get fasteners separately.

I had this same thing break on my truck. It cost $35 for an off brand replacement that fit perfectly.
