Does anybody know the name of the small piece of felt (?) that fits inside the interior door pulls? I need to order some replacements.

Did your felt pad got into a fight with a vacuum? I am guessing the vacuum won?

How do u replace that plastic door handle? Is it part of the whole door panel? Cause a girl scratched the hell out of mine with her finger nails, it slipped when she tried to grab the door and I heard the scratch and sure enough it has finger nail lines.

Use one of those dog files and grind those nails down. Or have her de-clawed. Lol J/K

Does it bug anyone else that the door handle is plastic? For something that is touched so often, you would think it would be some sort of metal. Still have not gotten used to it.

Tangent rant

I agree that some things need to be metal to feel luxurious but its a sports/luxury sedan and one of the main point is to make it as light as possible otherwise it will handle like a pig.

I called one of the local dealers and was told they are a "special order" item and would be $6 a piece. I discovered all four are the same size (driver's side is just reverse of passenger side) so I'll find a material that feels better to the touch than felt, probably a soft, thick rubber, and use the old ones as a template to cut new ones.
