Default Door panel trim piece

Hi guys,

Just picked up an 04 I bought and it appears there is a trim piece missing on the door panel right behind the handle grip\pull. Three hole opening with an untrimmed area of the panel material.

Or is this how it came? Sorry for my ignorance as this is the first C5 I have owned.

Any pictures of what yours looks like or the part that may go in there is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

They come adrift regularly - the clips break off.

Its a $2 part from the dealer part # 10279471 ("Plug FRT SD")

I put a piece of 3M double sided tape on the back of mine to hold it in place. I already lost 3

Common problem. Like DeeGee mentions, just get a replacement from the dealer and snap it back on.

I can also sell those if you'd like. I sell plenty of them. You can just go to www.gmpartshouse.com/search.html and enter that number.
