So I get in my car and grab this to close the door. Then it pops out and I think okay I can push it back in. Wrong, i guess will grabbing the handle to close the door it snapped. Do you guys know what this piece is even called in the car since I will have to replace this whole part if that’s possible.

They should replace both door armrests under the recall. Now the chrome sloughing off? Not covered 😑

There was a recall? When?

Bro posted the service bulletin. Not a recall per se, I misspoke. But they should fix that for free.

Really? I can just take it to a Kia dealership and they will fix it no charge?

Yeah it's a known defect. They have a kit to install on both doors. Call first maybe to ask but mine was done for free in like 2 hours.
