We are trying to source a replacement side window blind from auto trail. 3 days without success nown! Tricky bleeder I think.
 
One of ours has broken in exactly the same place, done a temporary repair with Gaffa tape which works if gentle when opening and closing. If the swivel hinge section can be removed then it is possible to do a more permanent repair by 3d printing I guess?
 
There's also an amazing moldable glue called Sugru that feels like a firm plastic/rubber version of playdough. You can mold it into any shape and it sets in a few hours. It comes in lots of colours... not cheap but really useful.

 
I found some glue that is cured by UV light got it of Amazon. It's similar to Superglue but does not set until you shine the UV light on it. Works very well. Might I suggest you drill a hole down the end and put a screw in it. You could also make one out of wood and just put a small steel rod through it.

I was going to suggest Sugru. I think you can buy it in B&Q, though I'm not sure. Not been in one of them this year.
 
Mine went the same. £37 of leisure parts or French eBay 4 for £10. So got the French ones about dec last year. Trying to find what the sight was called. Reminds me. Still to fit it. Brian
