really helpful, thank you! my swivel snapped. I started from Step 18 and removed the cover halfway. re-inserted the swivel then locked the metal bit back. i don't have the replacement piece and it will snap again if twisted too far, but this works for now. thanks!!

Here are a few suggestions:

1) Do a google search for 'sony headphones wh1000xm4 replacement plastics'

2) SONY Replacement Parts Website (what they offer) I found at this site.

3) Joe's SONY WH-1000XM4 Repair Parts I found at this site.

- The individual part you needed is offered along with a replacement metal clip.⏎

4) Check eBay - Currently (2/9/24) I see the part you need along with the two piece that attaches from the swivel joint to the speaker for about $11.99 USD
