Where can I get a replacement Antenna Magnet

This is only the second of twenty "gripes" (so far) on my coach.  While washing the roof I knocked off  the magnet on the antenna that lets me know when the antenna is down.  The plastic was rotten.  Where can I get a replacement?    I could also try using 3 M double faced molding tape.

More questions to follow.

Pamela & Mike,
Thanks for the part number.  I really only needed the magnet not the rest of the switch.  I've decided to try my 3M molding tape first.

At least on ours, it is a standard alarm system (as in home alarm system) part.  You do need to know if it is the open or closed circuit when in the closed position if you are talking about replacing the wired part as well.  It should be labeled on the part or check with VOM.
