Default 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.

Can you take a pic? I think I know what part you are talking about (is it the part that attaches to the passenger front seat to cover all the moving parts of the lever to recline the seats? Someone broke mine getting into the car too.

Watch the for sale section. There are always cars being parted out in every interior color option.

Id try the stealership and see if they can order one for you. It will probably cost a shitload of money though.

If you're handy enough with superglue, it looks mostly salvageable. Just a suggestion.

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.

Damn do people not read these threads at all or just like to **** away extra money?

**** $60+shipping from Year One for that damn kick panel. there is a thread in the sale section right now with one in Ebony for $30. Why waste an extra $40 when you don't need to?

Go to a junk yard, you can pick one up for around $10.00.

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..
