    Hey all,

    I noticed while cleaning my cup holders that a plastic panel near my driver's side door is cracked (see photo).

    Does anyone happen to know the name of this piece so I can order a new one? And does anyone have any experience removing and replacing this part? I'm not even sure if it's worth fixing at the moment but I am somewhat anal about this truck as it's the only vehicle I own that I bought new lol...

    Thanks for all the help!

    Thank you both! Is this something I should replace immediately, or is it okay to wait? I was going to order the stalk for the intermittent wipers mod, so I figured I'll do both at the same time. I'm just not sure when I'll have time to do it lol.

    This and that
    I would say if you really want to replace it then do it. Only takes like 4-5 minutes. Maybe get one used from a junkyard.

    I can’t see the crack, but I’d research how much a new costs or see if you can find one from an auto recycler. Some items are surprisingly inexpensive and some surprisingly expensive,,, you never know.
    I’m all for fixing little things, as the add to a giant think of shit, if you don’t fix them.

    Hahahaha! I knew I should have added a disclaimer about the dirt ;)

    For what it's worth, it's mostly that area that's dirty. I work with rocks and also go rockhounding in the desert, so my boots almost always have something on them lol. I'm slowing working my way through the cabin to get everything wiped down and new looking again :D

    You should have seen it before when the back was filled with rocks! It was baaaaaad haha.
