Hey all,

Just purchased an 05 Durango and I need to replace a piece of interior trim. There's a little cover where the seat belt attaches to the seat that snaps in and out. I have the piece for the passenger seat but it's missing on the drivers side. The piece on the passenger side is marked as:

• Lear P/N 878138
  DCX P/N 5JK04TRM

I can't seem to find it online. I'm sure the dealer could get it for me but I figured I'd just order it myself. Anyone know a good place to track down these random little parts?

Thanks.

As I recall, when you go through the dealer you have to get the whole plastic piece that goes on the side of the seat. I remember when I had to have one in my 06 replaced that's how it came.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I briefly spoke with someone at the dealership. He told me he has an 05 Durango and has replaced the same part in the past. Still can't find it online, so I guess I'll have to go the dealership route.

Can't say I have seen one for sale any where, but I need a passengers side one :|

Almost every 2nd gen Durango I see is missing one side or the other.

That whole plastic trim on the side of the seats is my biggest grip with my Truck. Both sides on mine are screwed up. Well those and the map pocket on the drivers seat back having weak as hell clips holding it on :wall: :furious:

Had the same issue on my 2006. After the second time, I just superglued it on there.
