[sfmc-99CAT]

99 Catera
Drivers door moulding
GM# 90433807 grey

Mine is split and beginning to fall apart.
GM has listed the part # as discontinued/none in stock.
A Opel parts site lists the same.
What are my options without glue, tape, or a wrecking yard?
Does anyone know of a US or Euro parts house that might have one?

thanks.

Body parts inevitably become hard to find, unless new old stock. Rockauto used to sell opel parts, but not anymore. Car-part.Com , but usually they don't list such a small parts, but you can always call whoever got Cat and check if they have whole car and willing to sell it

Search for a door card on Car-part.com, and ask them to ship only the needed moulding. Some places may charge you for the entire card.

If you are referring to the door close handle, here is what I did:

Remove the grip by placing a small flat head screwdriver in the notch at the top of the grip. Push in on the grip and press the plastic tab down to unhook it.
Here is a pic of the top of the grip:

I bought some thin sheet craft foam from a craft store. Cut an oval shape larger than needed to cover the grip. Center it and tack it to the ridge of the grip with glue. I used a hot glue gun, works fast. Glue it down the sides of the grip working to the edge. Trim the foam about a ½ inch longer than the edge. Fold it over the sides and glue down. I had to cut some slits for the plastic braces and holes for the pins that held on the old cover. I went a little OCD and used a heat gun to mold the foam to the grip before final gluing, but I’m not sure that's necessary. Also, you could go upscale and use leather if you wanted probably.

Here is the final product from the bottom:

Here is what it looks like installed:
