Default Nipples

I broke one of the nipples that the parcel shelf hinges on. Can anyone tell me the part number or a good website to look up parts? Thanks!

Saw the title...had to investigate.
Are you talking about the pivot pin on the shelf? If so, the whole shelf needs to be replaced. Your best bet is to fabricate some kind of replacement pin. I seem to remember that someone on the forum has already done that several moons ago. A sub-forum search might reveal the solution.

LOL, I thought that title might get some attention. Yes, broke off one of the pins on the side interior part. I thought I'd just order that side plastic part but I can't find a diagram with that part on it.

Ignore my first post. I was thinking about a different car. There is an interior trim piece that has that "nipple" molded into it. That entire piece needs to be replaced. Trying to interpret that parts explosion right now.

I had the same issue and fixed it with a bolt which I then covered with a piece of electrical shrink tubing. Works fine and cost about $1.38.

Correct answer. The right side replacement T2R22057PVJ is $428.44 and the left side T2R17099PVJ is $342.96.
Sovande, did you remove the panel to effect that repair?

I didn't have to remove anything, I was able to pull the panel out towards the center of the car and slip a bolt through the hole. I have nuts and washers in both sides of the trim piece. On the side in the cargo area I also used a lock washer. It's been that way for about a year and half and seems to be fine.

Yes please!! Oh, wrong nipples. If you are looking for the small piece that pops into the side that holds the shelf to the sides, I think its a cheap little piece. The body shop broke mine off and I believe the part number is T2R19188 and cost me $5.04 when I bought it.

I thought it was made into the side piece, but I'll have a closer look tonight. Thank you all for the help.
