Door missing something behind the inside door handle?
I am getting a 1998 Black C5 on Friday. I noticed there were two place I believe someting was missing. On the inside door handles what goes right behind the handle itself? On the one I am getting has two holes where something was supposted to go but is missing. I can see into the door panel. Can anyone tell me? and maybe show pictures?
Thanks

Door Holes
I have the same problem with mine, I believe if its the same issue their are plugs that are suppose to go in there. Probably someone took the door off and forgot to put the plugs back in! I bought replacement plugs from Ecklers for $5 each. Hope that helps.

Ok, that explains it, my wife closed the passenger door and the plug flew off and ended in her lap. i looked at it and yes, the tabs were busted, prolly from the factory.

It's the cheapest part you'll ever buy for your vette from a stealership! Enjoy!
Alternatively, when I ordered some other GM parts from Gene at Parts House, I ordered a pack of 10 of these for about $5 or so bucks. It's only worth it though if u order something else w/ it (like Z06 sways etc).
