Door Molding

The small chrome piece of trim on my drivers side front door molding broke off the other day and I'm looking to replace it. It's the piece of chrome which sits on top of the side door molding. Is just the chrome piece available, or do I need to buy the entire molding?

Does anyone know of a good place to buy this trim piece?

the moulding is 73.42 and as far as I know, Toyota is the only place to get it......?
The moulding you're asking about runs from the top of the door and down to in front of the mirror. You'll have to remove the Mirror to get to the bottom of the moulding as it's held in place by the mirror itself. There should be two additional screws holdig it in place along the top of the door.

HATEnFATE, sorry if I wasn't clear in my first post, but the chrome trim piece I'm talking about is the chrome piece which sits on top of the wide plastic door molding which runs horizontally on the door to protect it from door dings.

Any ideas on this one?

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I just lost track.....

Now I know what moulding you are talking about. The chrome trim on that moulding is part of the moulding itself. A new one from a dealer is about $145.00. It should come painted and ready to go on the car so at least you don't have to take it to a body shop to get finished.
