I've searched through a large number of threads on here about trying to get a solid option to repair/replace the inner door arm rests/grab handles on my dodge pickup. I found a few websites and a few phone numbers, none of them had anything in stock.

The plastic is broken like sooooo many of you guys, but I would LOVE to find a replacement or a repair option, it drives me crazy, my interior is really nice, except for this glaring flaw anytime me or a passenger ( both door arm rests are broken) tries to close the door.

Any help?????

There was a thread recently and I think Dodge quit making the passenger side and had like 8 left of the driver side. As far as aftermarket goes, I haven't seen much to look at. I need a driver side but their like 65 bucks from dealer.

I saw a thread quite some time ago for just this issue. Whoever it was used 3/4" boards, cut them to shape, marked and drilled holes in the stock location of the door panel and inserted t-nuts in the boards. Then he covered them in foam and wrapped them with some sort of upholstery. Something I intend to do when mine give up.

I actually just bought a driver side arm rest / handle from the dealer. I should be getting it tomorrow.

That's actually very clever....Hmmmmmm.....

I take that back. The stock screws angle into the stock arm rest. However, there is plenty of horizontal real estate to drill into for the bolts to go in vertically.
