Default Missing Door Piece

Ok guys i am looking for a little plastic piece that is on the inside of the door. It is the plastic oval shaped piece that is directly behind the handle in the interior. If anyone knows what i am talking about and knows where to find one let me know. Thanks

Sounds like the door panel access cover plug. You can get it at Corvette Central for $3.95 - Part # 485013

Or you could be like the idiots on the auction site and pay $10 for them. Go figure.

Before you order one, be sure to look under the edge of the seat to see if it fell off and landed there. Mine did...I stuck it back in place and it's been there with no problem for the past year or so.

That's where I found mine. Unfortunately, one of the clips had broken so I bought a new one and popped it on.

You can always try your local dealer too. Sometimes when you factor in shipping, it comes out cheaper to just get it locally.

This is definitely the way to go. I bought an extra one for an additional $3.25 from my local dealer. They had 'em in stock too. Steer clear of Ecklers.

I'm on my 4th one on the drivers side. The shipping costs more than the part
