what's the thing you grab when you get in a car and close the door?

I've been calling auto part stores about interior door handles, but I'm thinking that's not actually what I want.

I'd ask for a Door Grip and then wait for them to ask me to elaborate...

a big junk/salvage/bone yard should have several corolla's , look through them and find one with a similar interior and unscrew the handle, they'll probably charge you < $5

As it was stated before, a salvage yard, or a dealership are your only choices.

Yeah, calling auto parts stores isn't going to work unless that store happens to be a Toyota dealership. So, try the dealership and pay a LOT, or call some salvage yards and ask them what they've got. You'll want to tell them the interior color of your car if that's important to you.

Expect to be on the phone long enough for a guy to go out, find the car, and get back with an answer (ie. a long time).
