I believe it's a dealer only part and there really is no way to fix them. They shouldn't be much.

If your problem is that the little plastic stops on the cables that keep the cable sheath from coming through the hole with the cable are broken, then I had the same problem. The replacement cables only from the Ford stealership are pretty expensive. What I did was remove the panal, unhooked the ball on the cable from the latch handle, brought that cable end out and put one of those little mini guy wire clamps that look like little U clamps around the cable between the ball and the sheath and left it just loose enough that it would slide on the cable. Then put the ball back through the hole and hooked it back onto the handle. In other words, I used the U clamp as a stop to keep the sheath from coming through the hole as well. You may find something else that will serve the same purpose but you get the idea.
