Default Wonders never cease!

Cleaning the Vette today for my big road trip tomorrow and wouldn't ya know it, that stupid little plug that goes behing the door pull was missing on the passenger side.

I call the local podunk Chevy dealer and after 15 minutes of trying to explain to him what part I was looking for he comes back and says, "Yep, we got 5 of them there things". Woo Hoo!

$5.00 a piece but like my Grand Pappy always used to say... "What ya gonna do."

Are you talking about the cover to the access for the bolts behind the pull?

If so, I siliconed mine on so they wouldn't fall off. But I can still get them off, clean them up and put them back on again in the same manner.

I actually had to do this because the clips were broken off on mine.
