Hi Yall, The small plastic tab covering my door panel removal screws keeps breaking. Is this happening to anyone else? Breaks every 4 months or so either side.

They carry replacement panels on ebay for under $10. I guess it's common.

This just happened on my '04, I may have to try the silicone trick, too.
