Yeah, I'm missing that piece too. It's about 3 inches long and 3/4 inches wide with rounded corners. Hard to believe that thing costs $3.

It looks like the plug is GM Part #10279471 and is priced at GMPartsdirect.com for $1.90 for a pack of 5. GM lists the part for $3.33 for a 5 pack. I've only had to replace one of mine once and the dealer just handed me one. Maybe you'll get lucky.
***EDIT o.k. the 5 pack price is each so $9.50.....and they get you on shipping too.

Your dealer should be able to order you the plastic piece that you are missing. As far as the seats go, if you don't want to go the Vette Essentials route, try Mid-America. They have some custom seat covers there.

I just bought one of these from my local dealer and was glad he only charged me the $3. I guess I paid for the 5 pack and didn't know it. I thought I would have to buy a whole door just to get that part.

My passenger side one is broken too. I'll probably just use some type of adhesive and replace it that way. I broke mine a couple of months ago when I pulled the door panels off to clean them. Years of Armor All had turned the Oak bottoms to dark brown. I totally forgot that piece was still off of that door. Thanks for reminding me.
