Passenger door handle/armrest...the little white clip broke. I went through this years ago, and cannot for the life of me remember where I got the replacement!

So...I ordered one from Amazon. $61.00 delivered. It got here today. It's the right color (dark gray), but the grain pattern was non-existent...just completely smooth, and a big chunk of the vinyl covering was peeling off of it at one of the corners. And the clip part is black instead of white, and although it would probably work, the plastic section that has the clip seems to be held to the rest of the armrest with a screw (!) Made in China...I'm returning it. A real POS.

I guess I'll just get a used one off of ebay. A good used one is probably better than a new one form China anyway!
My problem is...when looking at used...they seem to be described as being different shades of gray...or Pewter, or Graphite, or gray or dark gray. And it's hard to tell from the pics. Is there a way to tell exactly what color mine is supposed to be from the sticker in the glovebox?

Where have you all found your replacements?

First, you get what you pay for, AT BEST. In your case with a knockoff from Amazon, you got FAR less than best. Maybe, you did not realize at the time that it was going to be a cheap knockoff, but you know now and into the future.

Yes, your interior trim color can be identified on your RPO sticker. The interior trim color code generally ends with an I.
