Plastic side cover for power seat. Crappy plastic that cannot be glued or easily repaired. New one will likely be the same, however, I will re-enforce prior to installing. 
187200 mi

US $32
Replaced driver side power seat cover. Took a while to find my hot glue gun to assure the buttons would not pop out after installation. Once you seat the cover clip, you won't get it back out without breaking the cheap plastic. Bad design.
