hard to find GTA door panel trim pieces

Is there anywhere that makes some of the harder to find GTA door panel components? Stuff like the bird insert that covers a screw in the trim plate, and the black bezel piece that goes around the door pull in the front between it and the panel? How about the plastic between the panel and the door (before I get some plastic sheet and strip caulking and make one)? Seems this stuff is pretty hard to find, and I'm trying to keep this thing 100%

I already seperated the metal brace on the inside of one of the door panels that attaches to the door

eBay and thirdgen ranch, etc, but those pieces are very hard to find and not reproduced yet.
The metal bracket is riveted to the door itself, the panel and arm rest hang on it.
Any plastic will work for a liner.

Re: hard to find GTA door panel trim pieces

Um, that plastic U-thing that finishes the area around the door latch handle is the same on all 3rd gens... I have at least one spare pair and 2 are mounted under my GTA door handle trims... And have only ever had one set of GTA door parts (the ones I have mounted).

Now, the plastic buttons that cover the screws under the latch handle (NOT the Bird trims) are a PITA to find along with the triangle pieces that cover the upper end of the door pull by the mirror control.

Use Gorilla Glue to put the metal bracket back onto the door panel... It will hold stronger than anything else, but the bracket will still be a pain and will come off again if mishandled...
