    Name of these trim pieces

    Hi everyone,

    So I bought a Vert a few weeks ago, and it has two open spots in the trim area behind the doors. I cannot for the life of me locate the name of these parts or how to fix them. I have circled them in the attached image.

    Bonus question, are they supposed to be flared up like that?

    Thanks for any and all help!

      And that’s just the left side. Prices jumped recently.
      There's a spring that keeps the flops down, but the spring perch is usually broken when you see the flap lifted like in the pic.

      Is that your Vert? I’ve only seen those front door panels a few times.

        No it is not-- just a pic I found that was zoomed in on the parts I was looking at.

        Also, day-um. That piece is expensive.

          Actually one of the better prices I've seen lately. A few others had them in the low $200s. Just can't bring myself to pull the trigger on one yet. Seems like a ton of $$$ for not much return.

                HOLY CRAP! I think I have one side (maybe a pair) of these BNIB in my parts bins. I had no idea the prices shot up like that!

                      I just recently (yeserday) fixed that trim piece thanks to some advice from another member. Drill a couple of small holes and thread a zip tie through to hold the spring in place... fixed. My flap had been flapping for years. No more.

                      I know you said yours are missing, but in case you run across some broken ones for cheap, they are easily fixed.
