Can the silver bezel that surrounds the front grille on a 2001 be replaced? If so, where does one get one (aside the junkyard). Also, the outboard plastic piece no the from passenger seat base.

EDIT: found the grilles on ebay, they are slightly different than stock - should have checked there first. Still looking for the seat plastic.

Thanks

You may have a hard time finding just that plastic piece if it is the part that has the power switches in it.
Since the 300m power seats are in demand, whole, You may have a hard time getting someone to strip just those pieces off.
What color is your seat base, gray, tan, or?
I assume it's powered, with heat?
The reason I ask, is , that if it's a part that is interchangable, on a gray, non powered, 1998 concorde, I maybe willing to strip it from my seat for you.
Within a month I will be upgrading my 98 concorde cloth seats to 300m leather(both front and back).
I'll have plenty of seat parts available then for sale,etc.
How is it damaged?
Maybe if you took pictures of the damage, and asked someone here on how to fix it, you maybe able to fix it.
There are plastic and vinal repair kits,etc.

Too bad it wasn't the drivers side.

It is the dark gray, power everything seat. There is a cover that goes from the front corner around to the back corner - looks like someone caught it getting out and broke the screw boss at the front right corner of the seat. ABS just does not glue well or I would crazy glue it.

I am sure there must be some way to repair it, cheaply, and look good too.
If you take some pictures of the damage, and post them here, maybe I, or someone can give you some ideas as to how to repair it.
Then post it in the "Show and Shine" forum, where there are experts at this type of thing.

I would try a two part epoxy. I do have an extra drivers side that i can try some glues on. I have buckets in the front and back and want to give that trim a more finished look.

The chrome trim is part of the total grille and is sold as a assembly. You can break off the tabs and seperate them, but they are not sold seperately.

An easier way for the seat would be to go to a hardware or plumbing suopply store and get a can of ABS cement. It is yellowy colour, so you'd have to be careful not to get it outside of the joint if it will show. Find a piece of scrap ABS and glue it on the inside out of sight to add strenght. Epoxy generally doesn't hold well to ABS.
