70680 mi Seat back trim plate on front passenger seat has come unhooked at the bottom again...third time I've had to fix this. Irritating!

Somewhere between washings one of the roof rack trim pieces flew off in traffic (the cap at the leading edge of the roof rack side rail). Replaced with a part from the wrecker for $5 - dealer price on this trim piece was $75! 
77500 mi Front passenger seat back came unattached from the seat bottom (again)...fourth time this has happened...removed trim and reattached. 
92560 mi Passenger seat back trim popped off AGAIN. This time I drilled a few holes and secured it with zip ties so the bottom claws can't slip loose again. The plastic is too weak and flexible for this design to work - stupid! Middle row passenger seat cup holder spontaneously broke (Stow'n'Go) seats. $130 for part from dealer - $55 from wrecker.

Rear passenger fender was rusted out and had to be replaced with new metal.

C $40
Repaired hole in rocker panel. 
66300 mi Trim strip on driver's side door came off. Probably just taped on during body repair from previous accident. Trim has tabs to attach a catch, but door panel must come off to fix. Fixed it myself with rubber cement. Hope it holds!

Trim strip on driver's side door came off. Body shop said the tape holding it on was original from factory. Tape failed, and piece has no other connection to vehicle. Tape replaced, part restored.
