So the portion of my driver's and passenger door panels that hold the window switch have broken clips inside, I need to replace them.
Here is the part I am talking about, in the center of this picture, with the switches inside it. Not the switch mechanism, but the overlying tan trim panel or bezel or whatever you want to call it.
So I'm looking for 2 replacements, one for each side. Here is a place I found some, was wondering if anyone has used these particular ones and if they are worth a damn? I mean, do they look like they don't even vaguely match the color and texture of factory? I'm looking at the "Brock" ones that are like $23 each, but the DIY Solutions ones for $65 each are a possibility as well.
I know I will get a ton of people telling me to look at a salvage yard. I know. But if it saves me the time and effort of driving there, looking myself and finding the right ones and if I can get a pair for under $50, that's worth it to me - again, IF they look decent. I'm just wondering if anyone has used either of these two options, or if there is another place out there to find them decently?
The color of mine is the neutral or tan color.
<edit> I just found the OE version on GMpartsdirect.com part #89045127 for $34, or same one on Ebay for $42 and $3 shipping. So those are probably both better options - new OEM, rather than aftermarket - unless someone can vouch for the cheaper ones being good quality. Looking for the opposite side part number now...
