Missing 2 interior trim panel "hole covers"
98 C5, AT.
Not sure what these parts are called, but I would like to find a way to replace them. Hopefully, my photo attachments will come through with this text - I never did this before.
First image (DSCN8404) is a cover that was damaged when my shop removed the dash. Not sure what it covers, looks like a thermistor. It mounts on the dash just to the left of the ignition switch.
Second and third images show the driver side arm rest and three holes behind the arm rest. There should be some sort of hole cover here. Don't know what happened - it just showed up missing. What are these holes for?

the two in the door you can get at your local Chevy dealer for less than $5 in black. They're called door panel plugs. The second one is a cabin air temp sensor vent ( not the exact name), but should probably also be available from Chevy. Here's another resource for both:

A forum search or Google search either would have brought up both sources, in case you need other items.

Just like 65GGvert said you can get the plugs for behind the door handles from the nearest chevrolet dealer. I got mine from my local chevy dealer for 3.50. for both sides. You can probably get the interior air sensor cover for cheap at the dealership also. or a junkyard.

You can get both from the dealer, I did. Use a little double sided tape on the door plugs when you replace them.
