Default Door plug needed.

Where is the best place to buy a door plug?(The plastic plug that goes behind the door pull handle) Is a dealer the only option? Thanks for any help

Best go to the local dealer

Its so cheap ($3-4) that the shipping costs more than the part

How many do you need? I have some left over from when mine were breaking about every six months.

I just need 1 and would be glad to pay you for it. I don't mind going to the dealer if I have to, but would much rather buy one from a fellow member if possible. Thanks!!

I bought some spares at the dealer a couple years ago - no markup there!!! Only option though. Those plastic tabs break off just by looking at them.

The dealer has them, I paid like 2 bucks each, I do get a discount. But I think they are only like 3 bucks anyway.

I need to switch to "your" dealership. Just looked up my invoice and my dealer charged me $10.40 each! $3.00 would seem reasonable to me.
