I don't have the parts to help you out, but I just wanted to make sure that you knew a couple of things.

First, the face plate for the seat switch is part number 126 766 53 91. Retails for about $3.40.

Second, the picture of the interior door handle is actually two separate parts, the frame and the insert. The frame is part# 126 766 01 11 and the insert is 126 766 01 90. Together, they retail for about $16.50. I've never seen a good used insert, so I'd just get new ones.

Third, the vacuum element has three valid part numbers: 124 800 18 75, 124 800 21 75, and 124 800 15 75. I only see the middle one in the price list and it retails for $44.50. This might be the only part worth looking for used. But then you're never sure how long it will last.

You might try your dealer. Most independent part suppliers don't even carry these parts.

I have gotten the door handle from Fast Lane (a few years ago, time to install it!!) and just last week got the little headrest knob--it was around a buck. So...at least one independent carries at least some. My guess is that Phil can get the rest.

...i just replaced the sliding jaw on the rear window regulator, i'm sure not in the mood to do that drivers door handle. I'm just not in the mood...
