Broken interrior piece need help.
So today while out with some friends someone ended up breaking part of my interior while trying to get into the backseat. The lower plastic part that runs across the inside part of the door and curves up into the front seat that is attached by 5 or 6 screws was broken. On the back end they tripped on it and broke off part of the panel around the screw and now the whole piece can be moved around and just looks like crap. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a replacement for this or if i just have to go to a junkyard and hope i am lucky.

I'd search the for sale theads here. Like mentioned above, there are always cars being parted out in every color. I'm sure you could find one relatively cheap. I would try a few junk yards too, you never know you might get lucky.
Oh, and FYI, that's a kick panel.

I say repair it.. They make a plastic repair material for bumpers, etc.. just take it out.. hold it so the cracks pretty much line up and are flush and then lay it to it on the back side. They also make a plastic (maybe fiberglass) type of mesh tape that you use with it for rigidity. This is what I did to fix a cracked door panel and to keep the other from doing so. Going to do it to the dash as well, just haven't had time..
