Where are these parts from? (misc interior parts)

Ok...I dunno where these parts go offhand... The first is a peice that seems to have broken off of my door panel (from the underside, ie between the door skin and the door panel itself). Driver side. Sorry for the fuzzy pics...

I dunno if it's related at all, but after this peice fell out, when I was putting the door panel back on, that little tray that sits on top of the door lock switch just wouldn't sit flush on both sides...the right side is flush, but the left side (facing the door panel) sticks up. Maybe this peice used to be a part of that area? Cuz I noticed the door lock switch part itself needs to sit further out (away from the door) for the plastic tray to sit flush, but it won't stay in that position...










The other part is a lot easier...it's plastics from the trunk/hatch, but for some reason I couldn't find where it went...

Those last panels look like the ones that are on either side of the center console...down by your knee.

...and the first ones IIRC are from the bottom of the little cup that the door handle is in.

The plastic parts with the screws in them are broken. They come from the back side of the drivers side (US cars) door panel insert. The part that surrounds the AC vent, window and door switches. The little metal bracket is Mazda's attempt at making hold onto the foam door panel rigidly.

The other parts fit right under the rear strut brace. On models with rear seats the rear seat latch pokes out of that location.

I happen to know because I'm crazy.

A special edition of Jeapordy consisting of all sorts of misc interior parts, just for Jeff hehe

THAT'S why I couldn't find 'em...the new sub box takes up that entire space, so I can't see it anymore

Is there a replacement part for it? Or is this a peice that's a part of the entire door panel, so you'd have to replace the whole door panel? Cuz I think that peice being broken is what's stopping the little cup the door lock is in from sitting flush.

You need a new door panel insert that surrounds the cup, window switch, mirror switch etc. It is available separately, don't know the cost new. If you call Ray Crowe post the price up, I need one of those for my 94 Touring.

That piece will have the plastic that the screws go into. It won't have the little metal brackets, you'll need to reuse yours.

Jeff, just called Ray. He told me the whole thing includes the vent, but the rest of the spots are empty. It's $220 and retails for $360 @ other STEALERships lol. I might buy it and sell the vent to anyone who needs it (I think a couple people have been looking for one). And actually, the clip that holds the side view mirror controls is broken on mine, so that's another reason for me to buy it. But I gotta come up w/ THAT much extra money laying around first lol
