Missing inner door grab handle carpet piece...see post for explanation
 

Am I the only one that is missing the little piece of felt or thin carpet that is located on the inside of every door...it is in the bottom of the door handle grab well and its purpose is to cover the screw. I dont know what else to call it other then.......its the handle that u grab from inside your car to close your door....well if u look in that handle where your finger tips slide into you will see a small piece of felt or carpet. My car is missing 3 of the 4 pieces. Now my car was in a rear end accident so it is possible that a body person for some reason removed an inner door panel to remove a dent....or something????? But my car is a 2016 with only 21k miles on it so I think it is more likely that Lexus just didnt glue these pieces in very well. We shall see if anyone else replies.>...........
Thanks

When I got my '15 cpo with 21k mileage it was missing one as well. My dealer gave me one they had spare altho it doesnt fit as it is too small but it's better than nothing. It's to my back driver side seat

Thanks for the reply......just by one other person missing one it tells me its gunna be a common theme. I plan on just making my own replacements from neoprene or wool blend carpet........just a pair of scissors and some removable adhesive is all that will be needed.

Ya I remember looking it up and it being like 14$ after shipping. I said f it. It doesnt bother me since it's a door that I dont use much

Everything bothers me :( Im a detail freak and this is my garage queen so I cant stand seeing parts missing. No way I am paying $14 for their part.....easy fix......will figure something out tomorrow and post a pic

Mine are all there.

I can understand that for sure! Thankfully I still have mine, but I have a back up plan incase I ever suck it into the vaccum or something. Michaels sells what looks like the same exact felt for less than a $1 for a 9" x 12" sheet of it. They sell it with and without an adhesive on the back.

I’d like to eventually upgrade mine making them out of leather or vinyl.

Nice find Hypervish....thanks!

Mine is there but I think you can easily DIY one :) Just cut any fiber

Thanks for the replies........yes its an easy repair. I just purchased this car recently and as I was detailing the interior I noticed they were missing. I thought it was kind of an odd thing for these to go missing.......wouldnt the owner just put them back in? I figure they fall out when someone slams the door and end up in the footwell.....when they are found people dont know what they are and they just chuck them.

Honestly my others dont come out easily at all. My thought process is that they must have worked on that door panel or something since there is a screw there. Carfax didnt say anything about it but it isnt full proof. Sometimes what you dont know wont hurt you. We are blessed to drive an amazing car.

I don't think they fall out by slamming door. More like Dealer or Detailer cleaning they suck it up with Vacuum.
My always get suck up when I use vacuum lol

I think you should ask your dealer to purchase you one!
it's their duty

They just lay in there, no adhesive. Its either they were removed when the door panels were removed or they were sucked up into a vacuum, etc

Roger that...thanks for the additional info.
